Deprodded with a rationale that admitted this subject did not meet WP:NSOLDIER (having been awarded the 2nd highest military decoration). While gallant, the rest of the coverage comes out of the single event of the massacre, so WP:BIO1E would apply. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 19:52, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

• Comment -- This man is an unremarkable man, apart from the circumstances of his death. Since he chose to stay with a wounded man to administer the last unction, rather than fleeing, he probably qualifies as a Christian martyr and thus a candidate for canonisation. However I do not know how many breaches of the rules of war there were in the Korean War and thus how notable his death was. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:18, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect per E.M.Gregory. Redirects are cheap. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:36, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
• Keep--having an individual article is helpful for wikilinking. Bios have small details that cannot be easily captured in group articles, such as birth dates, birthplaces, etc. that are helpful for contextualization. He wasn't notable for anything afterwards because he died. He is mentioned in Battle_of_Taejon along with George D. Libby. The notability of these two men is almost identical from a quick glance. Are you really going to go through all of the deceased war-heroes and delete all the ones notable for just one event who weren't decorated enough? Or are you going to go through the list of chaplains on Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_for_the_Military_Services,_USA and delete nearly all of them?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect - though I note that there is little in the bio that is not already there. He "could" be sufficiently notable but this would depend on sources. Reviewing the sources, as a whole, they either lack independance or quality (see Russell, Christopher - which is a blog). Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 23:05, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
• Merge Tend to agree with all the above., not independently notable. George D. Libby is notable as he meets our notability criteria by virtue of getting his nations highest award for bravery.Slatersteven (talk) 14:23, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
