Procedural nomination; prodded and deprodded twice now. Prod concern was that he is an "air force pilot and POW with nothing to distinguish him from any other air force pilot and POW". Some discussion of notability on talk page; I am neutral. Jfire (talk) 22:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a case that cuts right to the center of the issue of notability. What is lacking is the sense that the outside world thinks of this guy as having some personal importance. The LOC cite seems to be predicated on him being a typical example of a class, not a individual remarkable in his own right. Mangoe (talk) 15:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete this needs more than just an accumulation of highly honorable medals. Our precedent is that for the US, only in the case of the Congressional Medal of Honor alone is it considered reasonably certain to be notable. otherwise significant press coverage must be demonstrated, and it hasn't been here.
