Fails WP:SOLDIER. Does an entry in Burkes make him automatically notable? Gbawden (talk) 09:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually he passes WP:Soldier due to the multiple honours, and having them from more than one country should be a plus. Ϣere SpielChequers 11:22, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:Yeah I would have thought that the multiple honours and being Burkes would be notable enough? I have made contact with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers to see if I can get a few more references that they used for their article. Smirkybec (talk) 00:16, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think his rank, his decorations and the coverage he has received, taken together, indicate notability. James500 (talk) 01:40, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Yes, "DSO OBE" (again). Also fond Who's Who entry, which details career, sometime author of Gulfs (novel, 1932); and Twilight in Vienna, served both world wars, prisoner in the second, and "euphemistical diplomatic activity" at other times. Burke's contains Irish landed families, OK as a source (albeit with usual caveats) but not everyone mentioned therein would be considered notable.

Keep. His British honours most certainly do not qualify him for inclusion per WP:SOLDIER. A DSO and Bar, yes. A CBE, yes. A DSO and an OBE? I don't think so. DSOs and OBEs were ubiquitous among mid-ranking (and even junior) WWI officers. However, the fact he was awarded seven foreign decorations as well probably does take him over the bar. Plus his post-WWI achievements. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:25, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
