Last AfD closed because it attracted only one brief comment, although this was a delete. I couldn't establish that this man meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. It has been tagged for notability for 7 years; hopefully we can now resolve it. Pinging those who have commented on its notability before: Smerus participated in 1st AfD;The Writer 2.0 nominated it for speedy deletion; Bbb23 removed speedy tag.

Comment. The article states that Bryant has won numerous awards but mentions by name only the "Thomas Jefferson Award". There are several different awards of that name, but I assume this refers to the award given by the U.S. Department of Defense for outstanding work by public affairs personnel. (Examples: [1][2]) I didn't find enough information about this award to suggest it's sufficiently prestigious to convey notability under WP:ANYBIO, nor could I find specific information about what he did to win the prize. I did learn, however, that the Defense Information School created a "Hall of Fame" in 2013, honoring "accomplished alumni". Bryant is one of the first seven selections to this Hall of Fame, and the school commandant referred to him and two others as "part of a group who established themselves 'among the best journalists, authors and visual information communicators in our nation.'". [3] This is enough to make me wish we could find more specific information about his work; unfortunately, I couldn't. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:43, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
