Contested PROD. I could find no significant coverage of the subject to satisfy WP:GNG; his rank (sergeant) and lack of bravery award fall short of WP:SOLDIER. The only sources in the article relate to his death in action, he has a passing mention (12 words) in Bowman (2016). Lambo (no year), appears to be a chapter of Killingray (Africans in Britain, 1994) which states that he joined his squadron in Winter 1943-44, took part in a raid on Berlin on 24-25 March and died in the 30 March raid and nothing further.

  • Delete does not even come close to meeting either our notability guidelines for soldiers or GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete An interesting story, but I'm sure the other 544 airmen who died in the battle had similarly interesting ones. --GRuban (talk) 15:06, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
