articles, while at the same time trolling those editors to make their job difficult and discourage them with distractions. Apparently it takes no time to resurrect hundreds of Navy Cross/Silver Star/Ship name honorees for deletion. It takes a lot of time to respond and improve all of these articles. This is in fact a second nomination (among many). And given the fact that there is no good faith compliance with

All that said, while there is a bio here, everything that isn't the incident inspiring the medal award is unsourced, and frankly, it's pretty mundane. There were nearly 400 destroyers built in the Fletcher/Sumner/Gearing classes, so having a ship named after him in those classes isn't that exclusive

The article comes from one of a couple of blog-like features, all posted by a single person. It's a fairly random walk through various historical vignettes, ranging from well-known persons and major battles to "Sailor of the Day" sort of material. I'm just not seeing how "whatever catches the

This is relevant, and it should be fixed. It is a fact. It is always put into the history. I've never seen this, and it is a direct result of the misbegotten attempt to purge a couple of hundred articles. And all at once, overwheling the limited number of editors who actively try to save

854:. Having a US destroyer named after you is not a major distinction, and the Navy Cross, while a major award, is not at the level where anyone is going to write 6,000+ articles to cover all recipients. What it says in the ship article is sufficient. 465:
As a matter of housekeeping, I would note that this is there is a previous nomination for deletion that just went down the tubes. This is the second nomination. This fact is being knowingly suppressed – on this and many articles. See

This is a procedural hijack and an attempt to make sure that editors who do their job properly won't have time to respond. This is 'putting old wine in new bottles' — doing by indirection that which you cannot do by

And stop nominating these perfectly valid articles constantly. Having a warship named after you is a significant recognition of his notability. This article is referenced and well developed.

one Navy Cross doesn't satisfy #1 of SOLDIER, but doing a Google Books search brings up sufficient mentions of him in various books that I believe amount to SIGCOV in multiple RS.

and a blatant disregard of sources that exist but aren't cited — which do factor in to notability, this sneak attack is (dare I say it) ...

As at stands, this is a well developed article. And the existing sources have been ignored by the nominator and the DELETE voters.
