Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael A. Ryan
as per nom, and per the above. Though the subject is retired,  still applies I think - if he does something notable or some notable operation comes to light, an article might be appropriate. At present, with the lack of available sources and the lack of obviously notable achievements (though with thanks for his service, I imagine), I'd have to recommend delete
