– The soldier does not appear to be the clear primary topic of the term, given the existence of a number of other people of equal notability with the same name. bd2412 T 15:36, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Could we see some pageview stats? Dohn joe (talk) 14:52, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The federal judge (Thomas C. Wheeler) will not have any pageview stats since I just created the page. However, as a current sitting federal judge, he is immediately more notable than a 300+ years dead soldier whose article, though well-referenced, has basically remained slightly more than a stub for four years. For the record, the current page has had 575 views in the last 90 days; FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has had over 26,000 views in the same period. bd2412 T 14:57, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. The soldier may be notable but he is clearly not extraordinarily significant. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 16:46, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
