Withdrawn by nominator - sources and notability uncovered. FunkyCanute (talk) 16:04, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

• Keep. A quick Google search will confirm that he existed and held the post listed. This post and his decorations are easily high enough to qualify for inclusion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:40, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

::All the links point to sources that are mirrors of the Wikipedia article. FunkyCanute (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

:::No they don't. You are clearly weak in Google-fu! Try just searching for Leo Ross. In any case, Google is not the be all and end all of sourcing. It appears he did hold the listed position. That makes him pretty notable. If he held even one of the two Rhodesian decorations listed that would also make him notable. The combination of all three means definite notability. Did he hold them? Well, [http://www.wewererhodesians.com/forum/showthread.php?132-Know-the-Medal-05-The-Independence-Decoration-(I-D-) this webpage says he did]; although it's not a "reliable" source and can't really be cited, it does suggest it's likely he did. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:45, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

::::OK, further research reveals a real person of certain notability. How does one go about revoking an AFD nomination? FunkyCanute (talk) 08:05, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
