Keep A warship was named after him which is a "significant award or honor" and so passes WP:ANYBIO. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:51, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to USS Damon M. Cummings (DE-643). Fails WP:SOLDIER (LtCDR posthumously 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) 03:05, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/merge to the ship per Mztourist. It is apparent from the various deletion discussions regarding these single Navy Cross recipients with ships named after them that we need to get a community view on whether having a ship named after you is a “significant award or honour”.

Mergeto USS Damon M. Cummings (DE-643) 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. // Timothy :: talk 15:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete having a ship named after you is not a "significant award or honor" when the navy is churning out almost 500 ships in a very short time and for some inexplicable reason feels they all need to be named after people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect and Merge to USS Damon M. Cummings (DE-643), 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) 02:23, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
