Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... This page lists carefully cited endeavors undertaken by a decorated veteran and advocate for Native American causes. Mr. Lattin has made significant contributions to help advance his people through education and policy, and each accomplishment listed has each been cited with multiple reliable published news sources. I would request that the editors consider that removing this page would be doing a great disservice to a military veteran as well as a leader and role model of the Native American community. --HLMC98 15:33, 24 September 2020 (UTC)HLMC98

Way too much detail

The local Rotary Club membership and anything else that is not "of major importance" needs to go. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:04, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have gutted about half of the article and marked the rest for similar treatment. Other editors are welcome to get out the scissors. Please copy orphaned references to this talk page so they are not lost. When it is all done, the entire page may need to have sections consolidated or rearranged. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Restored the family history section, as it is an example of tradition of Native American military service. David notMD (talk) 16:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, however, that image of Soldiers Medal not needed for this article, as the Wikilink has the image. David notMD (talk) 16:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
