[edit] Roland J. Mulligan

Delete - no reason given for notablility. Not a flag rank officer, no notable awards, no combat service, and commanding a ship in and of itself is not particularly notable - commands change every year to 1 to 2 years. Thousands have commanded naval vessels. The article's creator has a history of creating articles somehow connected to his military service, most of suspect notability, such as Douglas A. Block, Luis Maldonado, Gerald F. DeConto, Rick Williamson, John M. Uhl...I'm sure I'm missing a few--Nobunaga24 06:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

This ship is the second frigate ship in Naval history to sink a enemy combatant so any Captain that served on this ship is notable. As I see you have you have not taken the time to read about Simpson. The first frigate ship to sink an enemy was the USS Constitution so do you see my point. Further, he served on Samuel Roberts one of two frigates that have been hit by the enemy. I am against you deleting this article and ask for you to reconsider. Kind Regards, Veteran USN David Silver—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.204.212.9 (talk • contribs) 07:11, 5 August 2006.

• Delete As per nom. --Ricaud 08:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment most of the other former Captains of USS Simpson (FFG-56) have an article, are they any more notable? If not then they to should be deleted --RMHED 15:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment to 72.204.212.9 aka David J. Silver - DO NOT modify my deletion nomination statement again. Add whatever comments you want elsewhere, but do not modify other people's comments. And in response to the previous comment, those should be deleted also in my opinion - just haven't gotten around to tagging them yet.--Nobunaga24 08:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I spend a lot of time putting this together. If you continue to delete my work I will cease my contribution to the project. Work on your Phd. I am sorry you were unappreciated with the US Army.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Harvardlaw (talk • contribs) 11:38, 6 August 2006.

Is ceasing your contributions a promise? \(^o^)/--Nobunaga24 13:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Subject no more notable than thousands of other naval officers. Simply commanding a notable ship does not confer notability. -Will Beback 18:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
