Disputed PROD - No ref's supporting any of the claims to significance - I cant find anything on GNews - as a Non-Notable person fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO Codf1977 (talk) 15:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unfortunately does not pass WP:N, in my opinion, or WP:MILPEOPLE. — AustralianRupert (talk) 10:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional Keep Consensus seems to be that a Silver Star by itself would be not enough (though I disagree with this), but being depicted in both With the Old Breed and The Pacific satisfies significant coverage, in addition to having an award named after him. However, the article is in poor shape, especially in referencing, and that would need to be cleaned up. bahamut0013^words _deeds 12:10, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Pacific satisfies significant coverage. He played a significant role, and moreover sounds from 'With the Old Breed to be a gentleman and leader of great character who should not be lost to history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drcoop (talk • contribs) 06:21, 12 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]
Keep - a Silver Star, major TV Movie character, sounds notable to me. Bearian (talk) 17:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC) P.S. He died in battle in 1944, so Ghits won't help one way or the other. Bearian (talk) 17:39, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:GNG with flying colours. Not only is he portrayed in a TV series and mentioned in detail in two WWII books, but he was also known for being captain of his high school football team and received a lot of local press and mentions in national press at the time - and the Associated Press wrote about him becoming an assistant coach. The article is now cited to the hilt; I'm not sure why the nominator couldn't find any hits in Google News as I found plenty. Do note that he was commonly known as Andy rather than Andrew, but you would've had to read the sources to know that. Fences&Windows 22:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. For most of the above reasons, as well as having a Sea Scout vessel named after him. Seaphoto^Talk 05:31, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
