Redirect to USS J. Douglas Blackwood (DE-219). Fails WP:SOLDIER (Surgeon awarded a Navy Cross. Having a ship named after him during WWII is not a "significant award or honor") and WP:GNG. No SIGCOV in multiple RS so not notable. Mztourist (talk)

Merge to USS J. Douglas Blackwood (DE-219). I concur he doesn't meet NBIO/NSOLDIER but there is some mergeable content here (sadly there are next to no inline refs in the article, but we can probably AGF the content...). The ship can have a section about its non-notable namesake.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:42, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there is an in line reference, which you apparently overlooked. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:12, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually read User:Piotrus's argument. sadly there are next to no inline refs in the article, but we can probably AGF the content... Lettler^{hello • contribs} 16:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
