I am surprised the reviewer of the draft rejected the "notability" of James Cardwell citing WP:CREATIVE. The appropriate notability criteria here is surely WP:NACTOR. The subject had significant roles in at least four movies (The Sullivans, Sweet and Low-Down, A Walk in the Sun, and He Walked By Night) that were nominated for Oscars or various other awards. There are far more obscure actors who have articles in Wikipedia. Muzilon ( talk) 23:39, 21 February 2016 (UTC) reply

@ Robert McClenon - Thanks for your feedback on the draft. I have removed the sentence you suggested. Sorry, the available sources don't indicate why Cardwell didn't serve in WW2. However, he was married at the time so I doubt his alleged latent homosexuality had anything to do with it. ( John Alvin, one of Cardwell's married co-stars in The Sullivans, apparently didn't fight in the war either.) Apart from J.P. Dennis there seem to be no other references to Cardwell being gay, actually. Muzilon ( talk) 03:40, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply
