Delete: Non-notable soldier, fails WP:GNG. Also completely unsourced. Curbon7 (talk) 00:28, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ - turned up a few passing mentions in sources such as [1] and [2], but no significant coverage to be found. The statement in the article that he commanded part of the Confederate force at Picacho Pass conveniently fails to mention that said command appears to have encompassed 9 soldiers.

- Agree, a redirect would be appropriate here. His small detachment seems to have been the main Confederate force at Picacho Pass. Hog Farm _Talk 14:06, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~. A reasonable search finds nothing substantial meeting WP:RS which directly details the subject. BusterD (talk) 03:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. A good case has been made that redirect may be the better outcome (and redirects are cheap). Holmes is definitely verified per the AHS source available on Jstor, so he is perfectly good search term. BusterD (talk) 13:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacks SIGCOV in multiple RS to meet WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 04:53, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Battle of Picacho Pass where he is mentioned (as commander in infobox and in the prose). I looked for sources to confirm that he was imprisioned in Yuma - but the Yuma Territorial Prison opened in 1876 and there is no Yuma National Cemetery, so that part appears to be made-up, otherwise this should be a Merge.

Redirect as above. Not notable per GNG. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:15, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
