Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William "Brian" Woods
per nom. The subject of this article is a United States soldier who was killed in action in Afghanistan; however, |Wikipedia is not a memorial and that alone would not be sufficient to justify an article about him. The "minor traffic argument" mentioned above (since removed from the article) relates to a single complaint submitted over Woods' funeral procession interfering with traffic, to which the Jefferson County, Missouri sheriff responded with an emphatic e-mail in response. ("While you were being inconvenienced in your car on your way home, there were soldiers just like Sergeant Woods carrying 100+ pounds of equipment in 120 degree heat, up some mountain or in the middle of some desert. ... It is my personal opinion that your complaint is self-serving and without merit.") It might be possible to write an article about the sheriff, Glenn Boyer, instead, since as a local official he presumably receives news coverage not just for this e-mail exchange but also for his other activities
