"article" with only hatnotes, templates and infobox. No real article. Night of the Big Wind _talk 20:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable war hero; the infobox states that he won the Navy Cross 3 times, and this is backed up by his entry at Military Times[1]. So he passes WP:MILPEOPLE. Also, he had a notable ship named after him. This article needs to be fleshed out, not deleted. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep now that I put a couple sentences in the article — purple heart + ship named for him = notable. Seriously, how damned hard was THAT?!?!? Lazy editors are lazy. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep An article is short does not mean it should be deleted. A simple Google search leads to many results about him. And as Ten Pound Hammer did suggest, there was a ship named after him. Simple expansion of the article is all thats needed. ---Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 21:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep & Move- Substantially improved since nomination. Notability now clearly shown. Move after closure to John A. Moore as primary topic & stylization of namesake vessel. Dru of Id (talk) 04:10, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per the sources added by Mr. Hammer above. Having named a ship after the guy would seem to be pretty much snow-worthy... Carrite (talk) 05:45, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable. SL93 (talk) 17:53, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly notable does need a lot of cleanup though. Edinburgh Wanderer 18:07, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
