To-do list for Sean Stokes:

As far as I can see, Sean doesn't seem to fit any of the criteria for the notability of military personnel. Receiving a silver star isn't one of them, as it is the third highest honour; and more importantly there are >100,000 people who have received them, far too many to have a page on each.

It is presumed that individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they [...]. It is important to note that a person who does not meet the criteria mention above is not necessarily non-notable; ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources. [...] If, for instance, there is enough information in reliable sources to include details about a person's birth, personal life, education and military career, then they most likely warrant a stand-alone article.
@ Viewmont Viking: You have to give me more than "nope" if you're going to delete an entire section without starting a discussion first (from Sean Stokes). kdr.bats22 ( talk) 19:36, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
OK. I agree that the citation is too long relative to the current length of the article. Expanding the other sections should be the focus for now. However, the Silver Star is not insignificant. And his inclusion in the books doesn't appear to be unrelated to the award. But we can revisit the issue if necessary once the article is more complete and other sources have been exhausted. | KdrBats22|< talk> 08:45, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
