Upgraded from PROD. The Distinguished Service Cross seems like a claim to notability and the reference checks out, so I think this is worthy of discussion. Original prod concern was "Non notable per WP:MILPEOPLE, see recent AFDs, such as those for Henry Blomberg and Daniel Martin. No other information found in a Google/Google books search."

- Delete - Per multiple recent AFDs and accepted PRODs, a Distinguished Service Cross is a second-tier decoration and, while admirable, is not notable if it is the only decoration the person has recieved. Please see the two AFDs linked in the PROD description above for examples of the recent decisions. Dana boomer (talk) 01:24, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I agree with Dana's assessement. Royalbroil 05:23, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Is there a policy anywhere that lists what decorations confer notability? I assume Congressional Medal of Honor winners are inherently notable, for instance. Just curious.—Chowbok ☠ 15:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:MILPEOPLE is a guideline- is that the kind of thing you're looking for? HJ Mitchell | fancy a chat? 16:20, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
