Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright (1821-1863)
per . He came from a very distinguished military family, but he himself did not reach a high rank, perform any noteworthy feat or receive a single decoration. ''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'' has three sentences about him. He receives one page in ''Officers of the Army and the Navy (regular) who Served in the Civil War'', but so do Musical Director John Y. Taylor, Commander Silas Wright Terry and a whole slew of others who don't merit articles
