[edit] Paul H. Carr

• Delete. Please let this not be read as a sign of disrespect to those who passed away in World War II. However, given the sheer number of our soldiers who died in World War II, I think it is impractical to have an article on each and every one of them, and thus SOME requirement of notability as it pertains to their achievements in the field must be considered. The article as stands does not convey the notability of the individual and reads more as if it were a tribute page from a relative, and they appear to have already set up those (cf. the Related Links section of the article). I would feel uncomfortable making this a {{db-bio}}, but I do think it needs to be considered for deletion for the aforementioned reasons. — Mike •  20:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC) In light of unsigned comment by Lohnshark, nomination withdrawn, as having a ship named after you would pass notability, methinks — but I'd put that one factoid in immediately to prevent other notability noms from people who haven't seen this yet. — Mike • 

• comment Not that I'm the man to do it, but a separate "Greatest Generation" remembrance wiki would be a flippin' fantastic idea, especially given how we're rapidly losing that generation to old age. — Mike •  20:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• commentI understand why you might say that. I'm hoping to add information at a later time, as this is my first posting on Wiki. The reason for this page is to provide information on the man in whose honor the USS Carr FFG-52 is named. Lohnshark;7 June 2006
