Keep A warship was named after him which is a "significant award or honor and so passes WP:ANYBIO. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:45, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to USS Brock (APD-93). fails WP:SOLDIER (having a ship named after a Navy Cross recipient during WWII is not a "significant award or honor") and WP:GNG. No SIGCOV in multiple RS so not notable. Mztourist (talk) 03:06, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather not go through all of these nominations, but what if we merge and redirect them collectively into an article titled List of American military personnel for whom World War II warships were named? BD2412 T 05:17, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to USS Brock (APD-93). 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 an probably AGF the content...). The ship can have a section about its non-notable namesake.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:37, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to USS Brock (APD-93), as per above. Sliekid (talk) 08:22, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and Merge to USS Brock (APD-93), it's more appropriate to have relevant information about a ship's namesake in the ship's article than a completely separate article. Best, GPL93 (talk) 02:35, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to USS Brock (APD-93)#Construction and commissioning, where hardly any info on him is currently included. Does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:NSOLDIER. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:08, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
