Do we list everyone who fought in WWII? jimfbleak 15:15, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Someone called Tom Bird has been awarded the Legion d'Honneur [1], but is it the same one? Rank of leftenant isn't high enough to be notable otherwise, and he appears not to have won the VC. Dunc_Harris| 16:37, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • No. Delete if no evidence of notability found. Also delete from List_of_people_associated_with_World_War_II, List of people by name: Bi Bird (disambiguation). Ianb 16:38, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • It'd take 264,000 articles just for British soldiers who died in WWII. Delete unless verified as being the Légion d'honneur recipient of the same name. -- Cyrius| 23:03, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • The Tom Bird who received the Legion d'Honneur in May of this year was a Major in the 2nd Battalion of The Rifle Brigade in 1942. Since the article only describes a Lieutenant Tom Bird, I'd suggest replacing the article text with verified facts about Major Bird. Average Earthman 12:14, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
