Delete - At face value, he does not seem to meet any of the criteria of WP:AUTHOR.--Hugsyrup (talk) 12:29, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Does not seem to have significant coverage in the media. Does not meet general notability criteria, nor WP:AUTHOR. Spyder212 (talk) 15:46, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to the detailed coverage in newspapers in New Jersey, where Max lives, there is an article in something called "Military History Network" that I hope some editor interested in military history will be familiar with. What it offers, that the N.J. articles do not, is the details of his military record, whot unity he was in, and details of his background from which an article that meets WP:BASIC can be sourced. Here: Prisoner in the Bulge. I also wonder whether he appears in any regimental histories, or books about WWII POWs. Searching is a little tricky because he has a common name, his middle initial is not always used, and some articles use "Bob" not "Robert". E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:08, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the problem with the article is notability, not verifiability though. Even if we could find top-notch sources for every fact about the individual's life, would they meet the notability guidelines for either military personnel or authors? I see no evidence that they would, although I'm open to being convinced otherwise! Hugsyrup (talk) 08:20, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Subject, of course, would not have to meet AUTHOR or MILITARY if it met WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:22, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per SOLDIER, AUTHOR and GNG. Local coverage and the "Warfare History Network" don't cut it. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:30, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
