The result was delete. Esssentially a promotion article, almost G11; minor importance only. The arguments for keeping is that support for veterans is important, which, however true, is irrelevant DGG ( talk ) 03:08, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Notable Person. Its nice that he's an advocate for veterans and that he had a distinguished career in the military and was a New Jersey State employee and worked for the Township of West Orange but that does not make him notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia and honestly he is not really known outside certain realms of New Jersey.

Delete - subject appears to lack "significant coverage" in WP:RS and therefore is likely non-notable under WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 01:18, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment per WP:CANVASS#Appropriate notification, I am notifying other editors that I have linked this AfD at the WP:NJ talk page. I have not opinion whether the subject of the article is notable or not per WP:LOCAL, but perhaps individuals from that WikiProject might. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:22, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Mr. Englert is a noteworthy person and this wikipedia page does provide insight and information to those wishing to honor veterans in their communities, while furthering veteran issues and awareness. If it so chooses, Wikipedia can simply remain a repository for biographies of personages such as Madonna and Lady Gaga but, I think it is better served by providing awareness and accessibility to activists serving noble purpose and the public good.

In addition to his documentable success in various and sundry initiatives to serve and honor veterans, Mr. Englert has appeared in news reports and programs on every major (and lesser) television network in the New York metropolitan area, he has been quoted extensively in The Star Ledger (Newark, NJ), as can be confirmed in its archives:

Delete - subject lacks significant notariety to .warrant/qualify for an article in wikipedia.wowikiprince (talk) 04:39, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems to have enough material on him to make him notable. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:04, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
