Milton C. Pickens does not meet general notability criteria. He died in an aircraft accident during training in WW2, while tragic, this alone is not notable enough for inclusion. The crash was publicized in period newspapers, along with thousands of other crashes. As far as I know he did not receive a high medal like the Medal of Honor or Navy Cross and he had no ships or bases named in his honor. He does have a plaque at a library that was built years after the crash, near the site of the crash, but that is not enough for inclusion. --Dual Freq (talk) 21:44, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unfortunately, my searches (News, Books, Newspapers archive, highbeam and thefreelibrary) found nothing significant and notable. I would've suggested moving elsewhere but there's no target. SwisterTwister talk 01:37, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - I am in agreement with the others above, but I wonder if such a prominent plaque might indicate more than purely local notability. Bearian (talk) 13:23, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
