Deletion of Jean Aimé Pierre Guerrier

Comment: This is a tricky one. Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur for service is far too common (with a maximum permitted number at any one time of "just" 113,425!) to qualify under  #1. However, does it qualify under  when awarded for gallantry? It does appear to be true that, while it is commonly awarded for service, it is indeed relatively rarely awarded for gallantry, but I'm not sure it is awarded rarely ''enough'' to qualify (according to the Légion's website, a maximum of twenty special awards may be made every year to those who do not qualify through length of service to the nation - this includes awards both for gallantry and for such people as Olympic gold medallists - but the implication is that more than this may have been awarded during major wars). I would also dispute that the Croix de guerre is a campaign medal - it ''is'' awarded for gallantry (and not, as alleged above, to all personnel who serve in a particular theatre), but it is certainly too low to confer any sort of automatic notability. The problem is that France, in common with some other countries, diverges from the system of first-, second- and third-level gallantry decorations that we see in the USA and the Commonwealth, for instance, and therefore is not really covered as far as decorations are concerned by . Nobody is ever given anything other than Chevalier the first time - you can only get the highest grade by being awarded it five times; so I very much doubt that ''anyone'' has ever become a Grand Cross through gallantry alone, thus qualifying nobody under . I would like to see figures for the numbers of Légion d'honneur awards made for gallantry, but sadly I have been unable to find any

Comment: reply|Necrothesp}} I refer you to footnote 1 of  where the Legion of Honour is specifically mentioned, limiting presumed notability only to those who have received the highest grade of the honor. The article on the Croix de guerre 1939–1945 (France) does not mention any particular gallantry required to be awarded the medal, although the Silver Star that Guerrier earned ''does'' denote gallantry. Also, http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/Heraldry.aspx?HeraldryId=15492&CategoryId=9399&grp=12&menu=Decorations%20and%20Medals&ps=24&p=0&hilite=Croix%20de%20Guerre this article published by the Pentagon's Institute of Heraldry does mention that the Croix de Guerre was only awarded to those who were mentioned in dispatches (i.e. had demonstrated some level of gallantry). However, none of this rises to the level of notability generally required for soldiers, and there is no evidence of the kind of significant coverage needed for

Comment: reply|Cmontabe}} The article mentions that Guerrier received the Croix de Chevalier (the Knight's Cross) of the Legion of Honour. This is, in fact, the ''lowest'' grade of that honor, and has, according to the Legion of Honour article, been given out almost one million French and foreign citizens over the centuries. According to the footnote at , only the highest grade of the Legion of Honour (the Grand Cross) would impart presumed notability. The various Croix de Guerre medals are what are known as campaign medals that are given to all service personnel who serve in a particular operational theater. They do not denote any special notability, even if mentioned in dispatches. The Colonial Medal|Medaille Coloniale is a similar campaign medal, reserved for operations that occurred in territories that were, at the time, French colonies. Again, no special notability is indicated by such a medal. Failing the requirement of having received his nation's highest honor, we would need evidence of '''significant coverage''' of Guerrier in independent sources. The mentions you have found of Guerrier in various databases of military honors is not sufficient, as such databases list ALL recipients of such honors. We'd need to see that someone (preferable several someones) took the time to write a significant piece of work (a book or book chapter, or magazine or newspaper article beyond his own home town) to be able to say that this person was notable.
