Reason

It was founded on the basis of a single unreliable source, and in its two years of existence there has been no discovery of anything sufficient to prove that he had the requisite five victories needed to satisfy the notability requirements to be a flying ace.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:54, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
