• A more detailed reasoning would be appreciated. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:50, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I think this article has a similar issue as this AfD. My reasoning for deleting both articles is very similar. The article mentions that he was a Private, making him of questionable notability. Furthermore, the whole article is extremely hard to read and if this ends in a keep, would require a great deal of cleaning. DARTH PANDA^talk 12:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as author, I am not at all opposed to deletion of article. This one of four intial forays I made into Wiki over past year. Article would probably be better rewritten as a unit history of the 10th NC Heavy Artillery Battalion. I'd be very interested in feedback on two of my other articles I have contributed to significantly: William Capps and Camp Patrick Henry --Mpdc100 (talk) 04:37, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Keep per notability and verifiability.Dr. Locarno (talk) 00:21, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I don't disagree that this is verifiable, but can you explain your logic for his notability? DARTH PANDA^duel 00:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I fail to see why a random Confederate soldier is notable, especially one that hasn't been awarded any awards for action, or done something notable. ThePointblank (talk) 00:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Does not appear to pass WP:BIO based on the references provided. Much of the article is not about the soldier but about 8th/10th Battalion North Carolina Heavy Artillery. It looks like the battalion may me notable under WP:N and it might be better for the creator of this article to write a new one, about the battallion and perhaps include some of the info from the current text there.
