Comment as the page had been ref-bombed by its creator, I have updated the source table above and continue it below from ref 11. As can be seen this is a collection of snippets with nothing significant and in-depth about him:
Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Register of Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the United States Navy and Marine Corps | U.S. Navy publication | mere listing of promotions and commands, this applies to 6 refs in total | ✘ No | |
https://www.newspapers.com/image/635175589/ | Newspaper story only viewable through subscription | ? Unknown | ||
United States Submarine Operations in World War II | Unable to access and assess | ? Unknown | ||
http://www.lisbonmaru.com/ | Page is to support sale of a book | Page is a blog | Can't see him mentioned anywhere | ✘ No |
Results of U.S. Submarine War Patrols | U.S. Navy publication | Unable to access and assess, presumably just a listing | ✘ No | |

- I will never understand, if I write down information that isn't cited you would complain. So I cite the information I am adding and now I am being accused of "ref-bombing." I am only adding sources that support the material in the article. True not all of them lend to his notability, but they do lend to facts in the article. You only seem to be satisfied if the article is on the path to deletion, and don't really care about creating an encyclopaedia. McGregor in just about every book I have about the submarines in the Pacific Theatre, he is notable if you recognise it or not. Jamesallain85 (talk) 19:03, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep I can understand why this article was listed for discussion in the first place, but I am taking the time to develop the article. Still being the target of Mztourist, I am not surprised he is trying to discredit every source regardless if it is from online or from my personal library, but I would also like to remind everyone that a physical source or source requiring a subscription should not be discredited just because Mztourist cannot evaluate it. I will take time to develope the article further, I have a lot more information still to add. Jamesallain85 (talk) 14:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Perhaps if you bothered creating detailed pages with reliable sources from the outset rather than a lot of minimally-referenced stubs as you have done they wouldn't be put up for deletion. All you have done with your massive refbombing is add a lot of snippets and side detail about submarines patrols rather than offer any indepth coverage about him. If he was actually notable there should be indepth coverage of him, but there clearly isn't. Mztourist (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- If you wish I can start AFDing your minimally referenced stubs, there are plenty of them. You should take the time to fix your own articles before pointing your finger at someone else. It's funny, every time I AFD one of your articles you sit around and scream foul while AFDing everything else under the sun. I literally AFDed an article you wrote without a single source, remember? You just sat around screaming it was out of revenge, yet here we are again. You might want to read over WP:MILMOS#FLAGS before you reference it, and if you so strongly believe they shouldn't be in the info box, why are they in just about every biographical article you have written? WP:MILMOS#FLAGS states, "When dealing with biographical infobox templates, the most common practice is to use flag icons to indicate allegiance or branch of service, but not place of birth or death. " Jamesallain85 (talk) 00:37, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- No I haven't created "plenty" of minimally referenced stubs. I don't create a page unless it contains useful and properly referenced information. But if you wish to try WP:REVENGE AFDing my pages again knock yourself out and see what happens. I really don't understand your approach to page creation, you created a whole lot of stub bio pages in December 2019 and January 2020. If you thought these people were notable and worthy of record why didn't you actually provide some detail about them to share with the world? Instead you gave minimally referenced 1-2 sentence thumbnails which tell us next to nothing. Now I would understand it if you were going to come back and expand them later, but after 2 years you still haven't done so and you only seem to make any effort to expand them when they're AFDed. It seems you were just keen to create a big list of all the pages you created to show on your User page rather than provide encyclopedic information. Mztourist (talk) 03:09, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- I have better things to do they play your petty games, keep AFDing my articles and making yourself look like an ass. Just like when you deleted my references and then AFDed the last article, Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Stanley C. Norton, you are just going to fail again. You have some kind of an issue that goes beyond anything I can help you with, if it makes you feel almighty and powerful just keep trying I guess, I don't know what else to say.

- If only one of those better things was actually writing detailed properly referenced pages... Mztourist (talk) 13:35, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Clearly enough material to meet WP:GNG and I think three Silver Stars also meet WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:31, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
