Fails WP:SOLDIER. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - article states that ships have been named USS Wainwright in his honor - how does he possibly fail notability? —Мандичка YO 😜 08:31, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It says they were named for several Wainwrights collectively. Plus even having a ship named after an individual, surely a greater honor, has not saved articles from deletion (I've successfully nominated several of those). Clarityfiend (talk) 10:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Then those articles should be recreated. What are they? —Мандичка YO 😜 10:16, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't keep track of my victims (those aren't notches on my keyboard). The people have spoken; if you're going to try to change the consensus, do it here. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:09, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Very junior officer. No special notability. Having a ship named after you is not necessarily proof of anything, especially when the ships are named after the whole family. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Too junior to keep. My guess is that the ships are named from the dynasty or possibly from the Civil War captain who was killed in action: whose deletion, I have queried.  Peterkingiron (talk) 11:50, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge to ship article(s). Fails WP:GNG as lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 22:43, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
