Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Medal of National Defense Service
Absolutely no one on Wikipedia is more critical than me of categorizing biography articles based on automatic awards. (Think that's an empty boast?: take a look at all my recent nominations of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Orders, decorations, and medals). But, I agree with {{ping|Gecko G}} here: this nomination is conflating  in the article space with how  in the category space. Put another way, just because this medal isn't defining for the recipients who receive it, doesn't mean we shouldn't have an article on the award itself
