Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. This person was one of the 922 pilots of the Tuskegee Airmen, and the sources listed to support notability are mostly blogs and an obituary from a funeral home. The only reliable secondary sources with biographical details cited in the article are this, where there are five sentences about him, and this, where there are two sentences.

Delete fails WP:BASIC as detailed in nom. Just being a Tuskegee Airman does not establish notability. Based on the sources provided it seems his first wife was more notable than him. Mztourist (talk) 08:43, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Pretty much all of the reliable sources are mentions of the subject's wife. As was the case with many of the articles for WWII members of E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Rader, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dewitt Lowrey), passing mentions and being a member of a well known unit does not equal notability.

Delete Per nom. Just not seeing enough about the subject on his own. Intothat darkness 13:48, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
