Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles McAlister
Dispassionately have to agree with nom. In terms of , the subject doesn't seem to meet the expected criteria. The independent coverage that is available (pretty much all of which seems to be included in the article itself) is not significant, and represents (for the most part) passing mentions in witness statements from the Bureau of Military History archives. The subject is not the primary topic in any of these references (or indeed in any other texts that I can find). Hence GNG is not met. In terms of , the subject doesn't seem to have held a particularly high-rank, or have played a significant role in the events described. Or otherwise meet any of the related criteria. (The text of the article itself notes that he didn't actually take part in the Easter Rising, was hospitalised through a significant portion of the War of Independence, and held a somewhat administrative role in the Civil War). In general terms I would note that 50,000 officers and men served alongside him in the Civil War, and 15,000 alongside him in the War of Independence. I see nothing to suggest that he was any more notable than the tens of thousands of others involved. Hence NMILPERSON also isn't met. In terms of , the subject and text seems better suited to a family history archive than to this project. In short: delete. (Or maybe |userfy. So the author can move it to Ancestry.com or similar. Which would seem to be more suited to this type of content
