Longterm unsourced article by a COI editor that fails the notability and verifiability criteria for WP:BLP, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. There appears to be no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Note: the DFC medal is not notable in itself because of its somewhat common nature -- 18238 of them have been awarded. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 18:11, 14 November 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. His accomplishments as a soldier, writer, singer, politician, etc. fail to cross the notability bar. "5-star music CDs" means three and four people rated his two CDs highly in amazon.com. Clarityfiend ( talk) 10:13, 15 November 2014 (UTC) reply
• Delete Per nom. Biography with nothing that shows the subject passes WP:RS. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 14:49, 15 November 2014 (UTC) reply
• Delete Checked his books. At least one is vanity-published. Some publishers I couldn't locate info on. Only one book was found in one library, which means they have had little or no readership. The one reference isn't significant. LaMona ( talk) 02:24, 19 November 2014 (UTC) reply
• Redirect to United States Senate election in Alabama, 1992, subject was an unsuccessful candidate for a national legislative seat, as verified by the New York Times, and the Associated Press. Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, unsuccessful candidates for a position that is normally notable per WP:POLITICIAN, are redirected to the election which they received the most coverage for, unless the candidate is notable outside of politics.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 04:05, 21 November 2014 (UTC) reply

@ RightCowLeftCoast:, thanks for those two sources, but the name "Bobby W. Miller" does not appear in them and therefore this page cannot be redirected. If the relevant primary information is added to United States Senate election in Alabama, 1992, then I see is no problem with creating redirects for Bob Miller (1992 Alabama primary candidate) and Margaret Stewart (1992 Alabama primary candidate) (or some such disambiguation). Note: Stewart might actually be notable enough for her own page [1]. But unless the name Bobby W. Miller is referenced by sources on the target page, then a redirect from this page would be improper. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 19:33, 21 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Subject of this article was referred to as Bob Miller, however it can be that they used the non-common name to avoid conflict with the disambiguation page. The subject of this article still meets WP:POLOUTCOMES, and such a redirect is the proper thing to do.

It would be a violation of WP:BLP verifiability and no original research to create a redirect of this page. You have only demonstrated that the name Bob Miller meets WP:POLOUTCOMES. You have not produced a source for Bobby W. Miller. Without a reliable source for this specific name, a redirect of this page would be original research and fail our WP:BLP policy. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 18:48, 24 November 2014 (UTC) reply
