Fails WP:BIO as a career army officer who fought in many battles, but did not particularly distinguish himself. All I could find is this rather florid description. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:49, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In addition to the source mentioned by the nominator, there are several obituaries accessible through Newspapers.com. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 13:05, 25 March 2023 (UTC) There's also apparently a biography in Chronicles of Oklahoma, Vol 24 (1946-47), No. 4, pp. 449-459. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 13:16, 25 March 2023 (UTC) Also this.

Weak Keep numerous passing mentions in books and official records which I believe give a bare pass on WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 15:38, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep for reasons already mentioned. Heitman has him leaving the Army as colonel of the 5th Infantry (a rank and position he assumed in 1880), but only mentions brevets from the Mexican-American war. Seems his Civil War service wasn't especially notable. Intothat darkness 15:17, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
