Deletion of James Ackerman (USMC)

Comment: He's had some mention in several significant historical accounts, and all of the refs are good reliable sources. While I'm not expecting |WAX to make a good deletion argument, my opinion is that he's at least far more notable than, say, Paris Hilton. At the very least, give it some more time to develop with the additional information OberRanks mentions

Comment: Delete'''. Insufficient references to meet |notability, as none of them appear to be indepth enough to warrant notability with so few references.  Furthermore, unless the individual was awarded any notable awards (thus he'd be covered under ), he falls under , therefore pertinent information should be merged into the article Service number (United States Marine Corps), and the rest should be deleted and replaced with a redirect

Comment: I don't have a particular interest in who had the first service number (Who had the first Social Security Number? Betcha it wasn't "1". Do we have an article on ''them''?), but the fact is that scholars and historians do have an interest in this individual. The result is that we have multiple reliable sources documenting elements of this person's service. If, as OberRanks indicates, there is additional information forthcoming, I see no need to delete this article. Per , I'd like to give some additional time to expand the article and find additional sources. I presume Major Ackerman is deceased, so there is no pressing |BLP concern that comes into play. The bottom line, in my mind, is that the article is a stub, and I see no compelling reason to delete it without permitting time to expand it. If that means userfication, then so be it - but I view that as a secondary option

Comment: per . As others have stated above, having a service number does not make someone notable enough for inclusion by Wikipedia's guidelines. Cheers
