- Comment Buidhe I have removed the stub tag as although it is short it does demonstrate notability. Notability is established by virtue of his being a fighter ace - a criteria accepted and used by WP:MILHIST Gbawden (talk) 07:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
IF it were generally accepted it would be part of WP:SOLDIER, but discussions to that effect did not find consensus to add it. Anyway, the nom is approved. buidhe 07:18, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
