Notability

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link.

Please also see a note at MilHist Talk Archives for background behind the redirect.

Notable due to his status as a Flying ace with a high claimed kills counts. As you can see in List of World War II flying aces - flyers with a much smaller kill count have articles - with the notability being their kill count and nothing else. Being an aerial ace (with a significant count for a particular conflict - 5 would be borderline for WWII, but would confer significance in any other conflict - mid-double digits and up for WWII is clearly significant). notable per SOLDIER: " Played an important role in a significant military event such as a major battle or campaign" - kill counts of these magnitude are a significant material and personnel (aviation - expensive to train) advantage.Icewhiz (talk) 10:16, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Redirect

Restoring the redirect. Successful completion of missions (sorties flown, # of enemy aircraft shot down, etc) is not part of SOLDIER. A MilHist RfC on this topic has failed to gain consensus in May of 2017:

• MilHist:RfC on the notability of flying aces.

For a relevant AfD, please see:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fritz Lüddecke, which closed as "Delete" in September 2017.

Please also see the discussion with the editor who had earlier objected to the redirect: Link. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:23, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

B class review

I really don't want to get into an argument with K.e.coffman over notability, but IMO, this article checks all the boxes for B class. Djmaschek (talk) 03:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

As far as notability goes, I write articles about rather obscure French and Austrian generals (plus a few other nationalities) of the Napoleonic era. I find them notable if they commanded soldiers in a major battle or campaign. Djmaschek (talk) 03:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
