I'm not seeing anything that would make this apparently routine Revolutionary War soldier notable. WP:BEFORE turned up a brief paragraph in a book describing local history of Indiana counties, but I'm not seeing the sort of coverage that would be required to meet WP:GNG here. The current sourcing is a source for an ancillary topic and his primary source pension records. Hog Farm Talk 20:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete no evidence of any significant coverage in multiple secondary sources per WP:NBASIC and no evidence of any particular notability under the criteria of WP:ANYBIO - Dumelow (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete A soldier who existed, that's about it. Cited to his pension record of all things and padded out with an explanation of what a dragoon is. A search brings up nothing of relevance for notability. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. No more notable than the average American Revolutionary War soldier. Then redirect to John B. Storm, add a hatnote there to John Storme and Australian National Drag Racing Association#John Storm Memorial Trophy, before deleting John Storm (disambiguation).

- Delete: Per nom. No indication of notability. Ratnahastin (talk) 14:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per everyone else. References only establish that Storm existed, but nothing else that could help establish notability. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:08, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable per GNG or ANYBIO. --NiftyyyNofteeeee (talk) 15:42, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
