This appears to be a non-notable person. All sources are either affiliated, passing mentions, or non-RS. Publisher is a vanity press. valereee (talk) 13:14, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Wikipedia is not supposed to be Who's Who (the American version), where you can pay to have an article included. This guy meets no obvious inclusion criteria, and we have to be very dilligent in resisting articles being placed based on payment.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete US Marine, who has written one book, with no RS to substantiate it as notable. Fails WPGNG and WPAUTHOR. Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:08, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment the online sources don't meet guidelines, but I wonder if the offline articles do. It seems like they're substantially about the subject, but I don't know if the source is too local. BuySomeApples (talk) 03:47, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I think that source, or Leatherneck, or DVIDS, or any of the other military publications, might work for one of the three sigcov we generally want to see. But those are all we really have here, and we can't use them for all three. It is much like all the coverage being from your local area: even if there's lots of it, it probably doesn't get you over the hump. valereee (talk) 17:34, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I cannot see anything in this article that makes him notable. I am not saying that the content is untrue or that he was not a valuable marine, but NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
