Keep Awarded the Navy Cross and retired a Colonel. The only significant problem I could see is that it lacked a picture but I fixed that. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:46, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Please see WP:SOLDIER, which is the general consensus of what should be notable. Note that a single Navy Cross does not meet the criteria, and colonel is not a flag rank. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:30, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Conducted a WP:BEFORE search and the subject does not receive sigcov in multiple reliable and independent secondary sources. The basic notability measurement is not met. An award can not rise to the level to overcome that without being so significant that the subject would receive the coverage needed. Does not pass per WP:N. --ARoseWolf (Talk) 16:14, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II With almost 7,000 recipients, this award is not automatic notability and there is not further significant coverage. Reywas92^Talk 19:47, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete colonels are not notable by rank, and navy cross is not enough for notability either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:59, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. Mentioned there and redirects are cheap. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:30, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
