Deprodded without rationale or improvement. Unfortunately, meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:NSOLDIER. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:31, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails both general and military notability requirements. The Croix de Guerre seems to have been awarded quite widely, so not enough to meet criteria #1 of WP:NSOLDIER, and he doesn't meet any of the other criteria. PohranicniStraze (talk) 05:08, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I take exception to the claim about the "wide" awarding of the Croix de Guerre. Heroism is not as widely dispersed as it may seem. -The Gnome (talk) 20:35, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Gnome: The award was the Croix de guerre (Belgium), which has multiple levels, many of which look like they would not meet NSOLDIER. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 07:42, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete- Does not pass our notability requirements; poorly sourced and main claim to notability seems to be an award that was not all that uncommon. Unclear rationale for deprod. Reyk _YO! 08:03, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
