Lewis A. Pick

Not notable. We can't have an article on every soldier in every war. – flamurai (t) 12:54, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Agreed. The events are encyclopedic but the personal history of this colonel is not. Delete Radiant! 13:17, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I think wikipedia has space for everyone who co-wrote the Pick-Sloan Plan. Kappa 13:27, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. decorated military record "Pick was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster" not too many people earn TWO of those medals (the oak leaf signifies multiple recipient).  ALKIVAR™File:Radioactive.svg 06:01, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and Cleanup. US Major-General. The Pick-Sloan Plan created a series of dams on the Missouri River and the issue is still a significant issue today. See Minnesota Public Radio story for example. [1] Capitalistroadster 06:40, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, helpful article about a civil engineer whose life had some encyclopedic qualities. Wyss 12:04, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I've categorised it. Wincoote 21:12, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Are we sure these aren't copied from somewhere? RickK 21:54, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: I'd check very carefully for copyvios, since we've had articles on both Lewis Pick and John C. Arrowsmith before which turned out to be copied from other sources. -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:44, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
