Joe Toye was an NCO in E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) during World War II; neither his rank (staff sergeant) or his highest award (silver star) qualify him for notability under WP:SOLDIER. Post-war, he recovered from his wounds as best he could and went on to live his life, doing nothing to qualify him for a page under WP:GNG.

Keep Plenty of sources about him, including several books. And portrait in a TV-series. That won't happen when you are a no-no.The Banner talk 16:30, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~Redirect: I agree that the article probably doesn't meet WP:SOLDIER but it definitely meets WP:ANYBIO. DrStrauss talk 13:36, 21 July 2017 (UTC) Updating to redirect per PeacemakerDrStrauss talk 18:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Band of Brothers, certainly doesn't meet SOLDIER, and I'm not seeing significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, almost all the books are by memoirs by Easy Company men. And what part of ANYBIO are you relying on here? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 04:19, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Does the article subject meet WP:ANYBIO? Would a redirect to Band of Brothers (TV series) be a preferable outcome to deletion?

Redirect to Band of Brothers (TV series); not independently notable per available sources and the article does not make a claim of notability either. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:02, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
