Only things that would merit notability is that subject recieved a Navy Cross, and a sub was named after the subject. -Vaarsivius (Talk to me.) 17:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be a soldier of significance. Multiple news coverage on the soldier well before his death in 1942 from sources like the New York Times. This article has potential, and I feel the sources are enough to establish general notability guidelines. Vodello (talk) 17:57, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * keep - article needing work is not a reason for deletion. --Rocksanddirt (talk) 18:12, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The article is a bit scanty, but the subject would appear to be notable. Peridon (talk) 19:17, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Vodello. Edward321 (talk) 00:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'm currently on the fence. While normally the Navy Cross would not be enough to establish notability under WP:MILMOS/N, the fact that a ship was named after the subject would suggest a degree of notability (to me at least). Ultimately though are there reliable sources and significant independent coverage? Currently the article is unsourced. Anotherclown (talk) 00:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * DANFS is the listed source.  bahamut0013  words deeds 14:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would prefer an inline citation but I agree this article shouldn't be deleted. Anotherclown (talk) 20:46, 29 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: having a US Navy ship alone is sufficient notability as far as I am concerned, but the Navy Cross is the cherry on top. Shame that it is just a stub, but that'll eventually change.  bahamut0013  words deeds 14:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: I believe that the combination of the Navy Cross and having a ship named after him makes this subject notable. AustralianRupert (talk) 21:07, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Obvious Keep Anybody that has a US Navy warship named for him is notable - far more than most of the people listed on Wikipedia. I added inline citations to the article. --03:06, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
