Not sure if this person is notable. Fails WP:SOLDIER. While the QGM was an achievement its not a George Cross. I don't think his acheivements in bomb disposal make him notable enough Gbawden (talk) 08:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Note that he has actually been awarded the QGM and Bar (i.e. two QGMs). However, since eighteen bars have been awarded in forty years we probably cannot consider this to be quite rare enough for an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:09, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per nom. Two QGMs don't satisfy SOLDIER, and there's no other claim for notability. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:50, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
