The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Could be mentioned in the Widener University article, but there's no consensus to merge and the small amount of relevant information could be added de novo without doing a merge. RL0919 (talk) 03:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. An officer who died in World War II and achieved nothing meaningful. Lettler^{hello • contribs} 00:31, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A non-notable soldier. The only other mentions of him I could find are this image, this image in this book, and this source from PA War College that is quite in-depth but doesn't show anything that really establishes notability. Curbon7 (talk) 01:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:BASIC. Mztourist (talk) 03:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails GNG, as far as I can tell. (t · c) buidhe 07:49, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Widener University. The University named The Wolfgram Memorial Library after him and there is coverage of this person: Widener, PMC, Tenth Mountain Division, page 184, History of the 87th Mountain Infantry, Italy, 1945, page 181. Because he was a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge and Purple Heart (posthumously) and nominated for a Presidential Unit Citation, he passes WP:ANYBIO and should be mentioned in the libraries and museums section of Wiedner's page.

Delete as it doesn't meet GNG in my view. I would support a Merge, although it's worth noting that Wolfgram wasn't nominated for a Presidential Unit Citation...the unit he was a member of would have been. In any case, his individual decorates are rather mundane. Only the library contributes to notability in my view. Intothat darkness 18:08, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
