Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexander K. Tyree
If it were just one Navy Cross I could understand and would possibly agree. He was awarded the Navy Cross multiple times. There are several wikipedia pages of military fighter Aces with less than ten kills, nothing close to the Navy Cross in terms of awards and ranks below that of of Colonel or Captain(Navy). If this page is deleted because it fails notability, then I will also nominate those pages because in terms of notability they are simply less notable. In my opinion the standards are unclear, but a multiple winner of the US's second highest award is notable. If the Navy Cross was awarded twice to any sailor in modern times they would surly be considered notable. IAW  a person is notable if "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." He won the Navy Cross multiple times, to delete the page one would have to argue that the Navy Cross in not either well known or significant, which simply isn't the case. I think there should be a clear cut standard for notability for military biographical pages. Is an Ace notable? Is a multiple winner of the Navy Cross notable enough? Is a General Officer notable? These questions should be clear cut, I am tired of trying to contribute what I feel follows wikipedia's guide lines, only to have all my work deleted and have to constantly defend its existence. Until things are more clearly defined in way of notability I will refrain from contributing in the future
