Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Basil Terah Hooley
I rather wonder whether the nominator did any detailed , because https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=EmT-BLlQqfYC&pg=PA378 this book on the Battle of the Somme is the first of two entries on a GBooks search and gives a decent six-line biography of the subject in a footnote. He fought in the Battle of the Somme and, unlike most of the other officers in his battalion, survived. The decoration he obtained was the Military Cross, after later military action, and by the time he died, he had been promoted to Major. Basically, a reasonably impressive military career, but not automatically notable enough for a standalone article. A redirect to Teresa Hooley, and a slight expansion of the mention of him there, would, I think, be in order if a reliable source can be found confirming that he was her brother (I can find plenty of unreliable sources for this, and don't seriously doubt it, but...). Otherwise, we are going to need enough sourcing to pass  - I think it worth keeping this AfD open for the moment to see if anyone can find such sourcing, but I suspect nobody will
