Fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. Ensign posthumously awarded one Navy Cross is not notable. Unclear what role he personally played in the Battle of Midway, just being a member of VB-3 which sunk the Japanese aircraft carrier Sōryū doesn't establish notability and he disappeared after the attack. His role as namesake of the USS John C. Butler is covered on that page Mztourist (talk) 03:53, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect as (as stated) not sufficiently notable for an independent article, to USS John C. Butler. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect per The Bushranger. Intothatdarkness 15:39, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect is a viable option. Does not warrant a stand alone article as per the notability guideline. -- A Rose Wolf ( Talk ) 15:56, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
