Is his really notable? IMO not notable, sounds like any of the servicemen who go AWOL Gbawden ( talk) 17:49, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
- Keep With all due respect your opinion whether he is notable or not is irrelevant. Is there a policy that this article does not meet? This article isn't sourced the best but that can be fixed easily. It's not a common thing for a soldier to go AWOL because he opposes to the war. I can find plenty of sources and books just by searching Google. NBC, SeattlePI, HuffingtonPost, Desert News, Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune. Press the Books button to find sources and you can also find many books about his story. Remember notability is not temporary. Jay Jay What did I do? 18:49, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

- Merge into the existing Iraq Veterans Against the War article (which needs work). I question whether he's notable on his own. After looking at the books results, he's mentioned in some books (mainly because he gave interviews), but they aren't about him in particular; he's one of many being talked to and/or quoted.

- Keep Closer, please pay attention to WP:VOTE. The arguments for deletion are thin to nonexistent (nomination framed as a question?). The article is sourced much more in depth and reliability (book interviews) than RS requires. Anarchangel ( talk) 02:43, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
