Regarding Notability

First off, the fact that he had a ship named after him, and that ship has a wikipedia article USS_Foss_(DE-59) should be taken into consideration. If the ship is worthy of its own article then the person for whom it was named is as well. (Merging this article into that article is a possibility, but doing so would seem to contrast strangely with so many other ship articles and the articles about the person for whom they are named.)

I don't think anyone could argue that this person was notable for anything other than the circumstances of his death. However, that is surely enough if one is to take the following list of Wikipedia articles that have NOT been challenged for notability as a guideline: Jesse Aliganga, Steve Crowley, Osmond Ingram (first enlisted man killed in WWI), George L. Fox, Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, Elizabeth Jacobson.

The first casualty of Pearl Harbor is as notable as any of those listed above, isn't he? Geeman (talk) 14:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
