- Keep A warship was named after him which is a "significant award or honor and so passes WP:ANYBIO. Andrew🐉( talk) 18:50, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to USS Bassett. Fails WP:SOLDIER (Ensign 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) 03:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to USS Bassett. 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 09:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete having a ship named after you is not a sign of notability when ships are being churned out left and right and there is an odd decision that they must be named after someone. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 16:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect and Merge to USS Bassett, it's more appropriate to have relevant information (specifically military career and Navy Cross action) about a ship's namesake in the ship's article than a completely separate article. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 14:13, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to USS Bassett. Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't meet WP:NSOLDIER, but there is some information which would make a nice addition on the ship article. Onel5969 TT me 18:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to USS Bassett, fails GNG. Cavalryman ( talk) 02:40, 2 February 2021 (UTC).
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
