 * Speedy Keep - nomination is one of a whole slew, appears bogus. Guettarda 06:13, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Bauer was, according to the stubby article, "a commander of the U-boat forces of the Kaiserliche Marine during World War I". He is also mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia as the author of a book on submarines, which, after being translated by Hyman Rickover, "became a basic text for the US submarine service". Seems obviously notable. Keep. Uppland 06:17, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. Bauer is a key figure in the history of submarine warfare.  I'll see if I can dig up some more info to flesh out the article. -- Kaszeta 12:49, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Repeated attempts have been made to discourage this user from frivolous VfD nominations (see User talk:ComCat), and to no avail. What do we do now? Agentsoo 13:53, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * A request for comment is in order, followed by a trip to arbitration if his behavior doesn't improve in the face of consensus. I'll gladly endorse your view--this is a ridiculous nomination. Meelar (talk) 14:18, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * If nobody will do it, I'll do the RFC this afternoon (I'm late for lunch as it is). -- Kaszeta 15:34, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Done, Requests for comment/ComCat. Please go there and comment if you feel this and other VfDs of his are bogus -- Kaszeta 03:29, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Please assume good WP:FAITH. The nominator seems to be confused with the VfD process and taking this to RfC seems to be jumping the gun.  Hall Monitor 18:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; brain-dead nomination. &mdash; RJH 15:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, of course. I'd say anyone who reaches the rank of Admiral rates an article, plus he wrote an important book. Tualha (Talk) 00:30, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article firmly establishes notability and has been expanded since its original nomination.   Hall Monitor 18:05, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Tony the Marine 16:05, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Robert McClenon 16:17, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough of this. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 21:39, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
