  • Another September 11 death. Adam Bishop 06:08, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Retired colonel. Keep. Anthony DiPierro 13:28, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • Did he do anything of note before he retired, or is he only noteworthy because of 9/11? If the latter is the case then delete. theresa knott 14:07, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC) (unclear vote, conditional and before the astronaut detail was revealed - not a vote unless "keep" or "delete")
        • He was a colonel. That's noteworthy. Anthony DiPierro 14:17, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
          • As a veteran, I appreciate your patriotism, but I disagree. Being a colonel alone is not noteworthy. Rossami 15:55, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC) (count as delete? - not a vote unless "keep" or "delete")
          • Keep, after adding detail. I don't think being a Colonel is noteworthy enough. But being an astronaut, albeit one who didn't get into space (his shuttle mission was cancelled after the Challenger disaster) is noteworthy.Average Earthman 19:35, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • Well, just to clarify, it has nothing to do with patriotism. I'd say the same thing if he were an Iraqi colonel. Anthony DiPierro 18:22, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • "He was scheduled to be a crew member of a Space Shuttle flight in 1986." Anthony DiPierro 21:22, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Del. --Wik 13:29, Mar 4, 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete - move to sep11 if not already there - Texture 14:15, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Everyking 17:48, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Move to sept 11th wiki and delete. Secretlondon 20:29, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Move to 9/11 wiki & delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 23:08, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Move and delete. -- Dissident 23:58, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • This deletionism is really becoming ludicrous. All these calls for deletion, and not one reason for deletion has even been hinted at, let alone stated. -- Oliver P. 03:40, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC) (should be counted as keep - not a vote unless "keep" or "delete")

This would normally be sufficient to keep the article and remove from vfd, but I thought it would be fair to let it a run a day or two more to see if those that originally voted delete have an opinion now. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 08:47, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The fact that no reason for deletion was provided is sufficient to keep the article and remove from Vfd. Wikipedia articles are not contestants in a Big Brother-style popularity contest. -- Oliver P. 23:02, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
