The result was Delete. While there are two "keeps" for this AfD, this article does not meet our minimum requirements for inclusion. We are not a geneological service. The fact that he was a colonel in the Swedish military is not sufficient grounds for keeping an article. Note: making a claim that the AfD is in bad faith doesn't hold water unless that claim is supported/backed up. Similarly, "non-notable to you maybe" is not a reason to include. It falls along the lines of "ILIKEIT", neither of these keeps held any sway when compared to the rationale of the delete nomination. If you remove the geneological material, this article boiled down to the fact that the guy was a colonel of the swedish army during a war. There is no claim that he did anything significant during that war except die.---Balloonman ^{NO!

Second, as far as I am concerned, this is an A7 candidate. Being a colonel who died in a war is not a claim to significance/importance. If you can give me a reason how this guy is in any way notable, I will be more than happy to reconsider, but when you boil off the begat the only thing left was that he is a colonel who died in a war. This isn't even a claim at importance/significance, let alone one that meets wp:N. It doesn't matter if the AfD was of questionable faith, the fact is that the article fails to meet the basic expectations of a WP article.---Balloonman ^{NO!
