Delete while his rank of Brigadier General satisfies #2 of WP:SOLDIER that is only a presumption that "they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources" however that is not the case here and so he fails WP:GNG. Being the last of 12 British Generals to die on the Somme, even if true, isn't notable, as there were apparently 11 others killed before him. Mztourist (talk) 05:01, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly does meet WP:SOLDIER, so the nomination is incorrect. This recent trend of nominating articles for deletion even though they satisfy accepted notability guidelines (and yes, WP:SOLDIER is one) is getting a little tedious. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:21, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've add a reference to his UK Who's Who entry; also doesn't the fact that he was awarded France's Legion of Honour and his rank of Brigadier General give him notability? Piecesofuk (talk) 17:40, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawing nomination At the time of nomming this, I was in a rush and did not see that Jones was a brigadier general. Lettler^hello 18:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
