Deletion of William R. Gruber (2nd nomination)

Comment: WP:NSOLDIER is an essay and in any case a presumption is not a guarantee of notability. In this case he is remembered mostly because of his association with Eisenhower . Trout, Steven (May 29, 2012) is just a mention and again because of Ike, none of the others provide  and no one has brought up any SIGCOV. &nbsp;&nbsp;//&nbsp

Comment: Consensus changes.  (which I know you're a big fan of) requires that for a military person to have a page on WP any reader should be able to immediately recognize that s/he won/did/led/commanded/developed/wrote something militarily notable. The presumption in WP:SOLDIER is that in reaching flag rank or in that flag rank that person did some notable things(s) which received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources. However for many one stars and some two stars that simply isn't the case, they just got promoted without achieving anything that anyone would regard as notable. You clearly believe that just achieving flag rank is inherently notable, I don't if they don't also have SIGCOV in multiple RS
