Article is about a US Army officer without he coverage needed to establish notability. Sourcing in the article consists of the Annual Report published by United States Military Academy, Association of Graduates which would not be an independent source. The other is a link Arlington Cemetery. Whpq (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete. The article effectively makes no assertion of notability at all. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 19:41, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete, subject has received passing mention in multiple non-primary reliable sources, that being said the only significant coverage the subject of this AfD received was regarding the subject's death, written in [http://books.google.com/books?id=h04uAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22Edward%20Chynoweth%22&pg=PA300#v=onepage&q=%22Edward%20Chynoweth%22&f=false this book], and the [http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/ajc_historic/access/545608712.html?dids=545608712:545608712&FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE:AI&date=Jul+27%2C+1909&author=&pub=The+Atlanta+Constitution&desc=ARMY+OFFICER+IN+LAST+FIGHT&pqatl=google Atlantic Constitution]. As such this biography falls under WP:BIO1E, and as the death did not receive continued coverage the event does not appear to be notable per WP:EVENT, and thus WP:NOTMEMORIAL appears to be relevant in this case.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 09:10, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment - Looking at the paywalled Atlanta Constitution article that is available in the preview, the headline "ARMY OFFICER IN LAST FIGHT", and the sub-headline "Death Takes Maj. Edward Chynoweth. Operation Fails to Give Him Relief and End Comes After Short Illness" match the second block of the [http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/edward-chynoweth.htm Arlington cemetery page], although the "-Interment in Marietta or in His Native City." from the Constitution doesn't appear in the Arlington page. Byline dates are the same but the wordcount in the Constitution would seem to be a little bit larger. -- Whpq (talk) 12:07, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
