PRODed in notability grounds, tag removed by authr on the grounds that the man is a war hero. Nothing in article to establish notability for a military figure. TheLongTone (talk) 12:24, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Indeed. No notability whatsoever. A couple of minor gallantry awards. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete loss is tragic, but being killed in action does not confer notability. The level of decorations for this individual would not confer notability either. Fails WP:GNG. EricSerge (talk) 17:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Mid ranking officer, fails to achieve notability defined by WP:MILPEOPLE.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:35, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete cant see anything in the article that is particularly notable. MilborneOne (talk) 17:27, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per EricSerge, fails WP:GNG. Incident resulting is his death is covered elsewhere at any rate (see 1995 Sri Lanka Air Force Avro 748 (CR834) shootdown). Anotherclown (talk) 09:41, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
