The result was redirect to Tarnak Farm incident. I don't really see anything worth merging over to the incident article. (non-admin closure) Ansh666 23:01, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SOLDIER, also WP:NOTMEMORIAL. He can be adequately covered in the article covering the friendly fire incident in which he was killed. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 01:03, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with and redirect to Tarnak Farm incident. The individual soldiers do not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, but the incident is notable. Tchaliburton (talk) 04:47, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Our content and referencing standards, and our understanding of how best to package and publish content about topics like this, are very different in 2014 than they were in 2005 (the time of the original creation and the original AFD discussion). Under contemporary standards we do not need separate biographical articles about each individual soldier who was killed in the incident, particularly when they're this minimally sourced — all he really needs at this point is a redirect to the main article on the incident itself. Two of the three others, for that matter, are already just redirects rather than standalone bios — and the remaining one, Ainsworth Dyer, should be redirected as well.
