Can nominators please remember to describe what the topic of the article is? This is about a lower-level army officer. Delete as insignificant figure, the regiment has no article so no merge target. Geschichte (talk) 18:02, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete military officers at the level Hammon was at do not meet notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:13, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross passes #1 of WP:SOLDIER and seems that there is some coverage in RS, though arguable whether or not that satisfies WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 03:47, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross article, there were over 7 000 recipients. Seems pretty basic. Geschichte (talk) 14:32, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The current source is not relevant for considering WP:BASIC/WP:GNG as it is WP:PRIMARY. The idea that every Knight's Cross recipient is notable is patently absurd.—Brigade Piron (talk) 14:29, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
