Keep. It's not as a private in the army that the person is notable, but as a character in major TV series
Band of Brothers. --

Delete - Not convinced he meets
WP:GNG. Most search results seem to be wikis, forum posts or user reviews. Not very much from major secondary sources at all.

Delete - not notable for stand alone article; brief mention of him in the BOB article is the proper placement; otherwise, trivial.

Comment: It's important, I think, to distinguish between the real men and their fictional representations in the HBO series. "Roy Cobb" in episode four of the series criticizes a replacement for his authorized wearing of a Presidential Unit Citation. There is nothing in the Ambrose book to support that event. The script writers needed a bad boy and they found one in Cobb.--Jim in GeorgiaContribsTalk 01:47, 6 March 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete - Nothing I can see that makes him more noteworthy than any of the thousands of guys who served.

Delete - As written, the article is about the real life person, and not about the character in the mini-series. Either, however, does not meet notability criteria.

Delete Non-notable soldier, with an unexceptional list of medals. I thought of recommending a redirect to
Band of Brothers (miniseries) - but, that article suggests that the TV series took the name and fictionalised the man. Not notable as a person, not notable as a fictional character, insulting to his memory if fictionalised.

Delete per
Narky Blert. The real man was not notable, and the fictional portrayal is unflattering, to say the least.
