WP:SOLDIER. Jamesallain85 14:21, 11 December 2019 (UTC) His submarine on his last patrol sank the Sakito Maru, which wiped out more than ⅔ of the Imperial Japanese 18th Infantry Regiment. He was also well decorated, while not with the Navy Cross, his awards looked it in context speaks to his notoriety. He one of only two commanders of the USS Trout, and it is my opinion that he meets the burden. — Preceding

Although the sinking caused thousands of deaths, resulting in the sinking of the ship commanded by the subject of this AfD, it is not a significant battle in the
Pacific War. Therefore it fails criteria #4 of SOLDIER. If one can show that the sinking meets
WP:EVENT, then write that article, and then argue that this article should become a redirect to that article per BIO1E.--

He meets the standards of
SOLDIER "It is important to note that a person who does not meet the criteria mentioned above is not necessarily non-notable; ultimately, this determination must be made based on the availability of significant coverage in independent, secondary sources. For example, Teddy Sheean, despite having only received a relatively low-level military decoration, is notable per the guidance set out in the WP:GNG due to the level of coverage he has received in reliable sources." I have listed several sources and can list more if needed. How much notoriety must one achieve?
Delete; subject of article does not meet
WP:SOLDIER. A diesel attack submarine is not considered a capital ship, therefore he fails Criteria 5 of SOLIDER. The sinking of a transport ship is not considered a major battle or military campaign, therefore he fails Criteria 4 of SOLDIER. The ship he commanded was only one of hundreds of submarines that participated in
Allied submarines in the Pacific War. No single event of the actions of the subject had received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, therefore I cannot presently recommend this article being changed into a redirect per BIO1E. That is not to say that the subject of the article did not serve honorably, and that his service and death while in uniformed shouldn't be remembered, but
it won't be on Wikipedia.--
