:{{la|George Dewey Moore Jr.}} – (View AfD)(View log)

Non-notable soldier. Also, major facts such as date of birth were withdrawn at the request of family by creator. +Hexagon1 (t) 06:33, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment, I haven't looked into the soldier or read the article... but, this AfD needs two links: [http://chnm.gmu.edu/history/faculty/kelly/blogs/h100sp07/?p=435 the blog] referred to in the story. gren グレン 06:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless someone can find evidence that he was any more noteworthy than any other soldier. Also, hopelessly non-NPOV - "Colonel Moore is one of the reasons that this county is what it is today" is not the kind of thing we need here. The reason for the article's creation are in my view irrelevant - plenty of decent articles have been created as class projects. The only issue is whether he passes WP:N — iridescenti (talk to me!) 11:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought unless previously published sources are provided to verify the article. Personal phone interviews just do not pass Wikipedia:No original research. --Allen3 talk 11:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. If control of the article has been surrendered to the family of the subject then it's clearly unencyclopedic. This simply should not have happened. BTLizard 12:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Subject probably was a great man (though I would not credit him with making America great), however notability is not established in the article. This article also has a couple of other problems. First, a phone interview is a classic example OR and violates WP:RS. Also, none of the information in the article is verifed by independent secondary sources. --Cyrus Andiron 24px 12:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Nothing to suggest this is in any way about someone special. Nice obituary, but not enyclopaedic, because there is nothing to make it so. (The statement that "Colonel Moore is one of the reasons that this county is what it is today" could explain a lot!) Emeraude 13:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete (1) because nothing in the article shows notability; (2) Article signed by Katelyn Moore, citing "Source: Moore Eileen, Peter Moore, and Lisa Moore. Personal interview on the phone." That's not an independent source per WP:ATTRIBUTION. NawlinWiki 17:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete- it is interesting and he sounds a nice guy- but he is not notable enough for a Wikipedia bio- and noting above comments on WP:OR etc Thunderwing 19:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - notability issue. Not saying he wasn't a great guy, but does he need an article? - Ta bu shi da yu 03:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. Also, likely conflict of interest; wikipedia is not a memorial, contrary to what some people believe. Ohconfucius 08:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
