Deletion of William Wood (United States Army officer)

Comment: the Associated Press has a searchable database and based on its http://nrcdata.ap.org/casualties/list.aspx?a=1&l=&r=&p=Col.&sp=&f=&il=&ic=&s=&sb=&su=&ss=&da=anytime&sort=name&recs=50 search results, there were 32 LTC and COLs, of which 10 were COLs that were killed in Iraq; in addition there was http://nrcdata.ap.org/casualties/list.aspx?a=1&l=&r=&p=Capt.&sp=&f=&il=&ic=&s=&sb=Navy&su=&ss=&da=anytime&sort=name&recs=50 one Navy Captain killed in Iraq as well. The only way to determine which is the highest ranked, is to see who had the highest time in grade, as I am not aware of any general or flag officers killed in Iraq. Now general or flag officers would be considered notable per , Colonels or Navy Captains are not considered presumed notable (as general and flag officers go through congressional approval and are technically presidential appointments here in the United States). The question is does the subject of this AfD meet , or received considerable coverage outside of the subject's death (which is questionable). Now if the subject only received significant coverage due to their death than I can understand  being applicable

Comment: War is a sad thing, but unfortunately, we just don't have enough available sourcing to write an article for every solider with a respectable rank that died in action. |Wikipedia is not a memorial. Usually,  is a good guideline to follow to judge the notability of these people. I see no reason why we shouldn't follow it for this one person

Comment: There are serious structural problems with  that does not tally with , the bar for inclusion is to high.   is not a deletion guideline, or valid reason for deletion.  With regards to  Colonel is not an insignificant rank, and he gains some |notability for having died.  Overall, there is enough sourcing to have it kept.  It is not a privacy invasion of a low level person because he is dead.  The topic is event complete because of his death
