Comment: None of the sources on this soldier are significant coverage.  Even the most in-depth coverage here is nothing more than a database listing his basic information.

Comment: Doesn't pass presumed notability threashold of SOLDIER, and fails GNG (which needs to be evaluated irrespective of SOLDIER). I was unable to find references of note not present in the article. In terms of references in the article (numbering per https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christopher_Walter_Waitt&oldid=901203461 this version) - ref1, ref2, ref4, and ref5 are  (gazette, war records, national archives)  sources (and some of them brief mentions) and do not establish notability. ref6 is a list mention on http://www.550squadronassociation.org.uk - which would not be a source that would establish notability in any event. We're left with ref3- https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=O2G-BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA408&lpg=PA408&dq=c+w+waitt+raf&source=bl&ots=6h05HMh6KV&sig=ACfU3U0PQN4hHoxkFuo4sQz5Vy2YHMxPfA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtsY341NLiAhVPShUIHbDpCwUQ6AEwBXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=c%20w%20waitt%20raf&f=false - which is a short paragraph and fails in-depth. In short - at present we don't have in-depth coverage in a single secondary reliable source - let alone multiple

Comment: It was not uncommon for men of his age and career to serve in both wars, nor was winning the Military Medal uncommon. Being a squadron adjutant isn't notable.  is a core policy; that much of the article rests on unpublished sources is a good indicator that we shouldn't be writing about him yet. Invoking WP:IAR to keep an article which violates  makes no sense
