The list of sailors killed on USS S-44 has been removed. Does anyone object to restoring the list? Jason M. Smith 21:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that there are no objections, I restored the list. Jason M. Smith 04:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

@Llammakey: Care to comment? I tend to agree that the list is not needed. I don't know if there is policy regarding this. But I have not seen such a list on FA articles, like SM U-66. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:01, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NOTAMEMORIAL, "Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements" (that being GNG). So no, the list doesn't belong in my opinion. Otherwise we'd create a system where every incident that results in death would have a list of those who died on it. Llammakey (talk) 12:53, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's talking about "Subjects of encyclopedia articles" so I don't think it applies here. Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:32, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bad idea, unless you want a list of everyone who died aboard Titanic or Arizona, too. There are memorial sites online; link to one. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 05:17, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree – it doesn't belong here. Mojoworker (talk) 23:46, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Javasmith: Do you want to defend your restoration of the list? Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:28, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to remove the list, since we have consensus here to do so. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:01, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It would be useful and convenient to have a list of the crew's names included here — it would certainly not be like listing the crew of the Arizona or the passengers and crew of the Titanic — but I respect the decision of the majority. 66.162.249.170 (talk) 03:30, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Individuals Who Served

Not sure what Wiki's policy is...

I recently learned that at least one officer while serving on the S-44 was awarded a Silver Star ^[1] ... is this sort of information appropriate to be considered for inclusion, or not? -hh (talk) 13:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It would be, if he has a page, where it belongs. Otherwise, it's too trivial for the boat page. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 22:10, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
