The result was merge to USS Baker (DE-190). Consensus is that the subject does not meet the relevant notability guidelines, but the article content would improve the namesake ship's page, which has the bare minimum about Baker. What content to merge is left to editor discretion. Even the keep !votes agree that one of the primary claims to notability is getting a ship named after him. The keep !votes are generic and do not address the content/sourcing of the article in question.
For transparency, I'm counting the last two redirect !votes, which apparently got confused by which AfD it was. This confusion arose because of the previous keep !vote copy pasting a large amount of text from the wrong AfD that I removed right before closing this AfD. -- Patar knight - chat/ contributions 15:01, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
