While the honorable and valiant actions of the subject of the article being nominated should be remembered in some form, subject of the article falls under WP:BIO1E. In addition, Wikipedia is not a collection of obituaries. see WP:NOTOBITUARY. While the subject received significant coverage of a notable event's (USS Panay incident) last living survivor when they died, just having obituaries written does not necessarily mean that the subject is in fact independently notable. Therefore I bring forth this AfD, so that this article can be changed into a Redirect to the notable incident which the subject of this article was involved in.

Redirect to USS Panay incident. Sourced to an obit. This is a WP:BIO1E situation - Huffman is mainly mentioned in the context of the Panay incident and isn't notable for other activities. His notability in the context of Panay itself is fairly low (he's mentioned in coverage of the incidents, he gave testimony and the postwar tribunal, and late in his life he a had a few "last survivor" interviews (+obit)).

Redirect to USS Panay incident. Wonderful that he went on to have a family and a secure, productive life. But there is zero notability aside from USS Panay incident.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:21, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect as above, the Article content could keep by merging or redirecting with a main Article as USS Panay incident.Forest90 (talk) 11:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to USS Panay incident Looks like a WP:SINGLEEVENT.Feickus (talk) 21:32, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to USS Panay incident. I'd normally vote to retain an article about someone who played a significant part in an important event, but he didn't; he was merely the last survivor. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:11, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
