I don't know exactly how iconic the photo of his plane is (the claim is unsourced), but I suspect it's not enough to satisfy WP:BIO or WP:SOLDIER. Wikipedia is WP:NOTAMEMORIAL. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:51, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Can't see the notability. Whether the photo was iconic or not, the pilot wasn't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: notable for his death in that his body wasn't returned to Argentina until 26 years after the war. Articles in the two major Argentine papers: Clarín La Nación, some others: [1] [2]. Vrac (talk) 17:03, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Having a body found and repatriated does not satisfy notability requirements. It happens all the time.[3][4] Clarityfiend (talk) 23:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like judgment on intrinsic notability. GNG says we cover what reliable sources cover, and reliable sources have covered this. Vrac (talk) 01:26, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a newspaper, nor is it a memorial. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOTMEMORIAL "Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements". This individual has received significant coverage in RS per WP:GNG and therefore meets such requirements. Vrac (talk) 11:57, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - lacks SIGCOV per WP:GNG. A couple of newspaper articles surrounding the repatriation of his remains does not constitute significant coverage to me. Indeed, this level of coverage has been afforded to similar events for the servicemen of many different countries and is fairly routine (I can think of a few examples of the bodies of Australian servicemen killed in Vietnam being located 40 years later for instance, likewise for World War I and World War II. No doubt there would be many British, Canadian and US examples too). Significant coverage to me would be coverage in books as well as newspaper articles, or a collection of biographies etc., and would deal with the individual's life in detail to the point where we could write a complete biography of him. Yet all we really have is coverage of the return of his body from Argentina and the circumstances surrounding his death. Anotherclown (talk) 09:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as per nom. Fails WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:16, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
