  • Delete Article is completely unsourced and I can't find any references to show he meets WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:04, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. All you have to do is type his name into Google and you can see what comes up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JayDarlington (talk • contribs) 14:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fighting in the Second World War and being awarded some medals (VC yes, MC no) are not enough, nor is showing up in Google, otherwise we'd be inundated. [http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/news/local-news/major-ellis-deans-son-release-6603159 His obituary in the Southport Visitor] shows that his military career, commendable as it may be, doesn't satisfy SOLDIER.

  • Delete - A brave officer with a fine service record to be sure; however, the subject seems to lack "significant coverage" in WP:RS so fails notability under WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 21:29, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete - Fails WP:GNG, concerned over possible conflict of interest with main editor. --Molestash (talk) 15:24, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Delete: unfortunately I don't think there is significant coverage to meet notability guidelines. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 19:36, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
