Comment: easily passes notability requir7ements, based on substantial coverage in multiple . Very presentable article too, I was fairly confused as to why it has been nominated

Comment: Subject doesn't seem to pass notability requirements. The only source that may meet the requirements is the Boston Globe article on February 29, 2020. The remainder of the references are brief mentions or minor coverage  in small local news sources.   also mentions that minor news stories may not actually support notability despite their existence as reliable sources. IMO most of the local news coverage is nothing more than minor news stories. The consensus at many AFD’s is local coverage is not enough to establish notability.   I can’t think of one BLP that has survived a recent AFD where the majority of references are local news sources without at least a few non-local sources included that meet WP:BASIC. Another concern is the subject fails . Being the current  commanding officer of the USS Constitution is not a “Major Command” in the United States Navy

Comment: because things seem to have changed since the AFD and  seems to be met (again,  don't work on people). That said, {{u|Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert}}'s concerns about {{u|Slugger O'Toole}} that {{tq|someone has tried to turn Wikipedia into Dedhampedia}} in another Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of Dedham, Massachusetts, in television and film|Dedham AFD is worthy of  intervention

Comment: This is a recreation of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Benda (naval officer)|an article deleted in November 2019. The 2019 access dates on the sources lead me to believe that it's a copy-and-paste of that article, with just two new sources added - which meets the "substantially identical" criterion for speedy deletion under {{tl|Db-repost}}. (Note that of the two sources with a 2020 access date, one is used entirely in places where another citation is present, while the other supports only a single phrase.) The majority of the sources are trivial mentions or |routine coverage; most of the article is based on a single "local boy makes good" piece from his small hometown paper. As per the nomination, this fails

Comment: I contend that local news sources count as  and there is a significant number of them. Since this article was recreated several new sources have been added, including from the Boston Globe and Boston's Fox TV and NBC affiliates, one of which called him the "face of the US Navy in Boston
