Burton Christenson was an NCO in E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. Neither his rank (technical sergeant) nor his awards qualify him for coverage under WP:SOLDIER; most of the information about him is in relation to generic events, such as a weapon jamming. After the war, Christenson returned to civilian life and worked for "the telephone company" while also operating a gymnasium and working in landscaping; none of these things earned him significant coverage. His most significant representation in the Band of Brothers miniseries involved the incident in which a soldier representing Christenson drank water when told not to do so; Christenson's fellow soldiers said that never happened to the real Christenson.

Delete no where near passing any notability guidelines. The deletion nomination is very persuasive. The reference to "the phone company" does make sense since at the time there was a phone monopoly in the US.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:36, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- does not meet WP:SOLDIER and coverage is trivial and incidental. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:00, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- another which does not meet notability; trivia. Redirect name to E Company. Kierzek (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
