Non-notable soldier. Also, major facts such as date of birth were withdrawn at the request of family by creator. +

Delete unless someone can find evidence that he was any more noteworthy than any other soldier. Also, hopelessly non-NPOV - "Colonel Moore is one of the reasons that this county is what it is today" is not the kind of thing we need here. The reason for the article's creation are in my view irrelevant - plenty of decent articles have been created as class projects. The only issue is whether he passes

Delete. If control of the article has been surrendered to the family of the subject then it's clearly unencyclopedic. This simply should not have happened.

Delete Subject probably was a great man (though I would not credit him with making America great), however
notability is not established in the article. This article also has a couple of other problems. First, a phone interview is a classic example
OR and violates
WP:RS. Also, none of the information in the article is
verifed by independent secondary sources. --

Delete Nothing to suggest this is in any way about someone special. Nice obituary, but not enyclopaedic, because there is nothing to make it so. (The statement that "Colonel Moore is one of the reasons that this county is what it is today" could explain a lot!)

Delete (1) because nothing in the article shows notability; (2) Article signed by Katelyn Moore, citing "Source: Moore Eileen, Peter Moore, and Lisa Moore. Personal interview on the phone." That's not an independent source per
WP:ATTRIBUTION.

Delete- it is interesting and he sounds a nice guy- but he is not notable enough for a Wikipedia bio- and noting above comments on
WP:OR etc
