Freeman fails WP:Notability and WP:Soldier; the only reason we know his name is based on WP:Inherited He was not featured in the book or the series.Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 21:48, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaarmyvet: If you feel he does not meet the notability guideline, take the page to AfD. If that discussion closes as "keep", we can discuss the nomination here. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:51, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the notablity banner, and encourage Gaarmyvet to bring this to AFD if they think it fails notability guidelines. Z1720 (talk) 16:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article ready for a review. Z1720 (talk) 16:50, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ pending. Currently at AfD. The hook fact checks out and is interesting. Earwig mostly catches unavoidable/common phrasing and organization names. A QPQ will need to be supplied by Thriley if this is to be promoted and the article is kept. Please ping me when the AfD discussion is resolved if the page is kept.

- AFD closed as consensus to merge, meaning that this DYK cannot run. Z1720 (talk) 23:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
