As with numerous other people currently up for deletion, a Navy Cross and a ship named after one is not enough for a standalone article. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages for the exactly same reasons (all members of the same ill-fated squadron, all awarded the Navy Cross and all with ships named after them):

A verdict for William W. Creamer was reached three days ago to merge to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. His namesake destroyer escort was launched, but not completed. George M. Campbell is in the same (uncompleted) boat as Creamer. His Afd is still open.

Redirect Henry R. Kenyon Jr. to USS Henry R. Kenyon (DE-683), John P. Gray to USS John P. Gray (APD-74), Jeff Davis Woodson to USS Woodson, James C. Owens Jr. to USS James C. Owens and Ulvert M. Moore to USS Ulvert M. Moore. All fail WP:SOLDIER (single award of Navy Cross, minor roles in Battle of Midway) and WP:GNG as they lack SIGCOV in multiple RS. MilHist consensus: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#having a military ship named after you proves notability is that being a ship namesake does not establish notability.

Redirect/merge Makes sense to have the namesake of the ship handled in the article about the ship if the namesake is not independently notable. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
