The result was delete. I really hate having to push the delete button here. I will be glad to userfy/incubate this article if someone thinks they can find more on him. Ron Ritzman (talk) 17:40, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While laudable, Pvt Antonelli's record of military service does not rise to the level of notability defined by the relevant WikiProject. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:17, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete although his service is admirable, a silver star does not meet the criteria. Racepacket (talk) 17:24, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - unfortuantely whilst this is quite a good article IMO, despite the subject's worthy achievements I believe this doesn't meet our notablity guidelines per WP:MILMOS/N. Likewise it appears to lack reliable sources per WP:RS. Anotherclown (talk) 01:00, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete: if you've ever been at an AfD like this before, you know I think that WP:MILPEOPLE is too stringent on notability from valor awards, and I feel that a Silver Star is usually sufficient in most cases. However, the referencing is very weak: Not really that many refs, none of it is third party, and some of them mention the subject only in passing. bahamut0013^words _deeds 14:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per Anotherclown, unfortunately without significant coverage in reliable sources, the article does not demonstrate notability for a Wikipedia article. More than happy to change my opinion if this coverage can be established, and indeed I wish to encourage the article creator to add this if they can as the article is of reasonable quality so I'd be more than happy to keep it if possible.
