This article is about Prince Romerson a Civil War soldier who saw service on land and sea and fought in the colored regiments during the war and after the war as a Buffalo Soldier in the frontier. He is uniquely claimed as a Filipino and a Hawaiian soldier who fought in the war today. This article was written and sourced on the same level of standard as my previous FA nominations Henry Hoʻolulu Pitman and J. R. Kealoha and has been an A-list quality article for a while. At this point, this article contains all existing knowledge about this figure. I believe it is not far from a Wikipedia:Very short featured articles.... KAVEBEAR ( talk) 08:38, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I apologize if this is a stupid question with an obvious answer, but how is Prince Romerson particularly notable? I understand that the involvement of Hawaiian people in the civil war can be of interest and is notable within the history of Hawaii / US relations, but what makes any one of the involved soldiers important? Is there a reason why he stands out more than the other Hawaiian soldiers who served during the war? I have looked for an answer in the article, but couldn't find it.

Support I think you have well addressed my concerns and this article, while short, is of good enough quality to be FA. I wonder what Prince Romerson would have thought about this whole thing. Iry-Hor ( talk) 10:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
Recusing from coord duties, I supported at MilHist ACR and apart from a couple of minor things that I've tweaked I'm happy prose-wise with minor changes made since then. Not being an expert on the subject matter, I'm leaning support but would prefer someone more familiar with the subject matter (at least in general) to look it over before I commit.

As usual, I can find little to criticize about an article that has gone through a MILHIST A-class review. The subject's notability is borderline, as Iry-Hor mentions, but I think there has been enough written on him in reliable sources to qualify, if only barely. With that, I'm happy to support. -- Coemgenus ( talk) 18:10, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
I don't find much to criticize:
Coordinator note: Have I missed a source review anywhere? If not, this can be requested at the top of WT:FAC. Sarastro1 ( talk) 11:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
I believe this article to be well researched, well written, and within FA criteria requirements. Every once in a while, it's good to see an FA article that manages to be comprehensive without overwhelming on prose. Good job.
@ Casliber: I've added FN5 to the sentence. This is a piece a piece in the NYT Opinionator which mentions: "native Hawaiians who fought for the Union risked segregation because of their skin color. One volunteer, Prince Romerson, served in the 5th Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry, an all-black regiment, and mustered out as a sergeant". Please let me know if there any other concerns. Thanks.-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 13:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Closing note: I think this is ready for promotion, just a couple of little points before I do so. However, neither of them are worth delaying this for. Sarastro1 ( talk) 12:21, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
