Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Ackerman (USMC)
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
