Now that the Afd of Luis F. Castro has concluded that the award of a single DSC to a Puerto Rican is insufficient for an article, it's time to clear out part of the list of Puerto Rican recipients of the Distinguished Service Cross. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:12, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Martinez sourced to DSC citation (note however that there is a different Joe P. Martínez (who is referred to as Joseph more formally) from Colorado who got the medal of honor). Guzmán DSC cited + a few Korean war book mentions (of the action that led to the DSC). Matta - similar. Figueroa-Meléndez sourced to DSC, book mentions on receiving the DSC. Ramirez - nothing found beyond the DSC citation (though there are others who share the name). Rodríguez - DSC cite, mentioned in book as receiving DSC.Icewhiz (talk) 09:06, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I don't find anything about these individuals on newspapers.com, except from Hernandez Guzman.[1] Other than a few articles about the DSC, there is also a few articles which include a picture of him stating that he took part in ceremonies for the 1952 organization of Puerto Rico into a commonwealth. These are not in-depth about Gusman in any sense, but I point this out because while I see no reason to think he had notable involvement in that event, someone with different access to sources might find something more.

Delete the DSC is not enough on its own to show notability, and these individuals have no other claim.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:52, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
