This individual seems to fail WP:ONEEVENT and does not seem to otherwise satisfy WP:GNG or WP:MILPEOPLE. This seems similar to several other recent AfDs (here, here, here, and here) of individuals whose article's failed ONEEVENT for the same event. The editor who removed the prod on this article claimed the individual is notable for the three books he wrote, but they don't appear to be covered enough to get him over WP:AUTHOR.

Keep - My limited research leads me to think that this person is notable. He was not merely involved in the Battle of Mogadishu, but he co-authored several books (only partly about that experience) that have been widely reviewed, he has been interviewed about the Battle fairly extensively (Christian Broadcasting Network, Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN), and I find that he was prominently featured in the book Black Hawk Down.[1] Yes, he first became known for that one event, but he has remained in the public eye. --Orlady (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to be generally notable, sources look good enough. Borock (talk) 02:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per precedent cited (subjects who were more heavily involved in the battle have already been deleted, e.g. Eversmann, who also wrote a book and received more coverage in both the movie and other books). Policy-wise it fails WP:MILPEOPLE in my opinion and is a BLP issue. — AustralianRupert (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete per WP:MILPEOPLE, but his authorship may be notable if that section was expanded. Canals86966 (talk) 21:04, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Author of several books that have been 3rd party reviewed. Person is notable per guidelines so keep the article. Kugao (talk) 17:30, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
