• Keep A warship was named after him which is a "significant award or honor" and so passes WP:ANYBIO. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:55, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. Fails WP:SOLDIER (Ensign posthumously awarded a Navy Cross. Having a ship named after him during WWII is not a "significant award or honor" and ship wasn't even completed) and WP:GNG. No SIGCOV in multiple RS so not notable. Mztourist (talk) 03:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
• Merge to List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II per above. Doesn't pass for a stand alone article, but the content will improve the target article, be less fragmented, and give the content more readership. Per WP:N, "Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article." The article as a stand alone will receive minimal readership, but as part of the target will receive much more. There is no benefit to fragmenting the content. I ce'd the article to help with the merge but it still will need trimming.  // Timothy :: talk  15:01, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
• Keep for reasons cited by user:Andrew Davidson If not, Redirect and MERGE to VT-8#Midway, which is a better fit than the generic List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. In fact, I have found lots of sources that support that narrative and resolution. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:08, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

• Merge into List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II per Mztourist. Cavalryman (talk) 12:07, 31 January 2021 (UTC).
• Merge into List of Navy Cross recipients for World War II. Having a ship named after you is simply a political decision, having nothing to do with notability. Does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:NSOLDIER. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:30, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
