G. W. Grider[edit]

Resume of a military guy. Radiant! 11:52, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not notable. utcursch | talk 12:47, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Well, it's not that he's just a military guy -- he was commander of the USS Flasher, the WWII submarine which sunk more ships than any sub in US Navy history, and apparently was a one-term congressman from Tennesee. But the article doesn't say any of this! So he's notable, but not as demonstrated by the article. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 18:25, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep if the article is cleaned up and expanded to include notability (sorry, military info and war is not my subject or I would do it). Not only commander of the USS Flasher, but also served on the USS Wahoo (believe it or not), this gentleman does appear to have established a certain degree of notoriety in the field of US Navy submarine warfare.

  • Keep — Notable. Just needs further cleanup and expansion. Thanks. — RJH 17:57, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. He was a congresscritter from Tennessee in the mid-sixties. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:38, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
