Earl McClung was an NCO in E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. Neither his rank (staff sergeant) nor his awards qualify him for coverage under WP:SOLDIER; most of the information about him is anecdotal. After the war, McClung returned to civilian life and held a number of jobs, none of which earned him significant coverage. Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 14:25, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete mention in a book about the every soldier types does not make the people so mentioned notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:35, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As far as I can see, McClung just happens to have been in E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment, which happens to have been immortalised in a miniseries and book. He does not appear in the box at the bottom of the page showing the main characters, and apart from this he does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:14, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
