Notability
[edit]Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link.
A de.Wiki article exists but it's very unconvincing for notability. Please also see a note at MilHist Talk Archives for background behind the redirect. In summary, per the outcome of the discussion at Notability:People on notability of Knight's Cross recipients: permalink, certain recipients were deemed non notable and WP:SOLDIER has been modified accordingly: diff. The articles of these recipients are being redirected to alphabetical lists. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:11, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
- Wrong on all counts. No definition of what was and was not notable was made in the discussion and this individual led one of the most successful fast attack careers in history. Dapi89 (talk) 14:13, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Dapi89: I would appreciate if the editor did not characterise these notability redirects as "disruptive". Please review the notes by the closer here: permalink, following the extensive discussion at Talk:Notability (people). Not every redirect that an editor disagrees with is "disruptive".

- You're destroying an article on a man who is the equivalent of a VC or MH winner. No amount of discussion is going to obscure that fact. There is nothing further to debate, not least because the sentiments and opinions expressed in the link you refer to fail to excuse the deletion of this, or similar articles.

- Please point me to a consensus that identifies KC holder as "the equivalent of a VC or MH winner". K.e.coffman (talk) 22:14, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
- If you need a source for that you shouldn't be touching these articles. Look around. They were the highest awards of their respective militaries. In any case, he was a leading naval officer in his field - fast attack boats. Dapi89 (talk) 08:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- See Samuel W. Mitcham.
- Easy. Dapi89 (talk) 08:34, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
