Carwood Lipton was a senior NCO and later junior officer with E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) during World War II. His performance in the field led to him being offered and accepting a basttlefield commission. He was respected by his superiors and subordinates but his highest rank (first lieutenant) and highest award (Bronze Star) do not qualify him for coverage under WP:SOLDIER. His work after the War as an executive in the glass industry earned him no significant coverage. Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 14:40, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as with most all of the others from "Band of Brothers"; fails notability and does not independently rise to a level for a stand alone article. WP:NOTMEMORIAL, applies. With that said, redirect name to E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States). Kierzek (talk) 15:31, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Above and beyond the book, he has received enduring coverage over his lifetime and in this lengthy obituary about him, all of which establishes his notability; notability is not determined based on the number of medals or stars on a soldier's uniform. The claim that this article fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL is complete and total bullshit. Simply asserting that an article isn't notable and ignoring reliable and verifiable sourcing is antithetical to the purpose of this project as an encyclopedia.

Keep per Alansohn. Rusted AutoParts 20:55, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Keep the extensive coverage means he meets WP:GNG with ease, and as Alansohn said, citing WP:NOTMEMORIAL is ridiculous. Rockypedia (talk) 23:59, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I agree with Alonsohn, etc. Smmurphy^(Talk) 18:41, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
