Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.

[edit]

Regarding the following inclusion,

Retired General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr., commander of the combined coalition forces during the Gulf War, dies from pneumonia complications at age 78. (AP) (The New York Times)

, I think the person is notable without doubt, with great achievements, thereby deserving the current inclusion in Recent deaths and on the Main page. However, I don't think the death itself (complications from pneumonia at age 78) is extraordinary enough to justify an entry in this list. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
