Gregory McMillion[edit]

Delete. The classic WP:BLP: Was a regular dude prior to his 15 minutes of infamy and returned to being a regular dude when the 15 minutes were up. Article also seems like a WP:COATRACK for soldier misbehavior. brew crewer (yada, yada) 04:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about this one. He's notable for one thing, but the one thing is a crime, not, say, bugging Barack Obama in front of a camera. And my usual position is that coatrack issues are best dealt with editing, not deletion. Otherwise we'd be deleting lots of stuff, starting with Pro-life or Irreducible complexity.

Merge to an article on looting in the Iraq War or one on wartime looting in general. It's clear that what he did was wrong. The article is about his crimes, not he himself. Northwestgnome (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with a combo of Brewcrewer & Northwestgnome. If there's a more general article where the info fits merge it there, but doesn't look like there's a need for a standalone article based on this one incident.--Cube lurker (talk) 15:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Brewcrewer, Northwestgnome & Cube lurker :) If there were a general article about looting we can redirect the name there, but AFAIK there's no such article. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 15:08, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There should be articles on the general topic of wartime looting and on that which took place in Iraq. Northwestgnome (talk) 01:42, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
