I don't think this person is notable enough. He fails WP:SOLDIER. I don't think being and ADC to a prince counts. Maybe being one of the first to liberate a concentration camp does? Gbawden (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He is notable for his role in Operation Amherst and as an aide-de-camp to the Dutch commander-in-chief, as well as for his role in the liberation of Westerbork liberation camp. WP:SOLDIER is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline. I do not see a clear reason for deletion. Jvhertum (talk) 07:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Can't see any good reason to retain the article. Junior officer with no significant decorations and no significant posts other than as an ADC. His war service doesn't seem particularly remarkable. Many soldiers took part in Operation Amherst and in the liberation of Nazi camps - unless he did something particularly significant within these operations (and there is no evidence that he did) then he's just not especially notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:58, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Comment It claims "He also served as aide-de-camp to Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands during Operation Market Garden." But Operation Market Garden doesn't mention him or Prince Bernhard, suggesting their role was rather minor. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:47, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Necrothesp. Fails SOLDIER, and notability does not rub off of Prince Bernhard. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:12, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see significant coverage in multiple reliable sources per WP:GNG, let alone WP:SOLDIER. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:BIO and WP:SOLDIER. LibStar (talk) 23:42, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per User:Peacemaker67. Had this been better referenced I would have argued to keep it. Chris Troutman (talk) 13:47, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
