Lt. Col. James M. Tully (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Absolutely unsourced biographical article, unable to find a single relevant search result, even for dumbed-down searches like this one. AFD, in short, because lack of sources to validate information of the article. I should also mention the obvious WP:COI here. — Timneu22 · talk 16:52, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Barely any assertion of notability, let alone sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Wikipedia is not a memorial, and although the policy may seem harsh, it is necessary in order to keep an online encyclopedia of this nature under control. Lt. Col. Tully died on February 11, 2010, after a career of service to his nation [1], but the memorial rule is non-negotiable. Mandsford 17:45, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This appears to be his corporate bio at a company he established in 2006.[2] There are assertions about his extensive awards and decorations during his service; if something were identified in reliable sources to substantiate this, the result might change. But I found nothing else.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - highest award appears to be the Silver Star - does not meet requirements of WP:MILPEOPLE. GregJackP (talk) 21:29, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
