A very comprehensive telling of this individual's life, however it does not indicate how the subject is notable per Wikipedia's criteria of WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. A Google search for the name does not come up with significant discussion in multiple reliable sources. (There are other Jimmy Blackmons mentioned who are not this one.) ... discospinster talk 00:03, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Maybe passes WP:SOLDIER as the air mission commander on the operation that netted #2 and #3 in the famous Most-wanted Iraqi deck of cards? WP:AUTHOR: Cannot find reviews of his books that are not by the publisher, a bookseller or the author. WP:NSPORT: was a world champion archer. Also, while I accept the nom's comment about there being other Jimmy Blackmons, I am still inclined to believe that the JFBlackmon who wrote the article is the same one as the subject.

- Delete SPA puff-piece lacking SIGCOV in multiple RS so failing notability. No RS given for supposed claim of capturing #2 and #3 in the famous Most-wanted Iraqis. Mztourist ( talk) 03:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Personal puff-piece with almost no reliable sources, and no significant notability. ( If he actually captured two people numbered 2 and 3 in the playing card set, that would not be very notable.) Jackattack1597 ( talk) 22:27, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Vanity article with only primary sources and not enough of even them (the few secondary ones don't seem to support anything relevant). Besides, this has so many issues that I wouldn't know where to begin, other than by TNT'ing it and starting from scratch. And to pick up on an earlier point about this person's military record satisfying notability, that could be the case, but even then it would barely warrant a paragraph or two, not this epic. -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 09:18, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I came across this via WP:THQ#Jimmy Blackmon Page Editing Feedback and did some rudimentary cleanup, but the entire article has the feel of a PR release and probably needs to be re-written from scratch with lots of trimming done and more reliable sources cited. It seems like this might be a case of WP:NEXIST since the subject appears (at first read) to meet WP:NSOLDIER for at least a stub, but again lots of PR speak would need to be removed. There are also WP:AUTO/ WP:COI concerns, but those can be resolved separately if the consensus is that the subject is notable. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 22:35, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
