Article written by an editor about his deceased grandfather. While I'm sure Mr Sender was a fine man, he does not appear to meet our requirements for inclusion of biographies and Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Pichpich (talk) 01:29, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete & Userfy; subject does not appear to be notable per WP:ANYBIO or WP:SOLDIER. Content can be userfied if the article creator wants it preserved in some manor. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 03:11, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Userfy- Gilbert S. Sender (Jr.), only known valor award [1], so unable to evaluate if multiple or additional valor awards that would combine to meet WP:SOLDIER (presuming automatic Purple Heart). Findagrave entry no additional help [2] 95th Division G.O. 129 may state if second or subsequent award. Dru of Id (talk) 05:31, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete & Userfy - Sadly, I'm unable to find anything on the web that says more than that he was awarded a Silver Star. I can't even find the citation. Sadly, this is insufficient to support Wikipedia's Notability requirements. If you have some supporting references from reliable sources, (they don't need to be on the web, they just need to exist, and be real), then please add them to the article quickly. Before you do so, please read Wikipedia's Notability guidelines in order to maximise the chances that the article will not be deleted. If you want help/advice, drop me a line on my talk page.
