Fails WP:SOLDIER. There is a claim that he was a flying ace in the article, however it is not sourced. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 19:08, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For a start, he was a flying ace. [1] Has a reasonable number of reliable sources museum [2] obituary [3] road named after him [4] Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - With one Google search I too confirmed, as did Hawkeye7, that the subject was a flying ace and a highly decorated World War II fighter pilot. This clearly passes WP:GNG as well as WP:SOLDIER. The subject received a heroes welcome upon his return from war, and a New Jersey Causeway was named after him, not to mention being given numerous awards, including a Congressional Gold Medal among others. I fleshed out the article some and added content with reliable sources, but it could easily be added to even more, using reliable sources stated above. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 04:58, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I'd like to see some better sourcing here and particularly details of his total kills. Mztourist (talk) 06:48, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
