WP:SOLDIER is an essay not a guideline and it doesn't mandate that one of those 8 criteria be satisfied, it says that "It is presumed that individuals will almost always have sufficient coverage to qualify if they" have one of those 8. It is not a requirement.  Having a U.S. Navy Destroyer named after the person is an honor that seems to indicate that the individual is significantly  alone.   I think that satisfies  on its own but his life is covered in depth  in 4 paragraphs https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/nhhc/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/w/willard-keith.html here. The LA Times ran an in-depth story on him on December 14, 1942, an image of which is https://missingmarines.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/keith_ww_the_los_angeles_times_mon__dec_14__1942_.jpg here and previously on November 29, 1942 https://missingmarines.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/keith_ww_the_los_angeles_times_sun__nov_29__1942_-scaled.jpg
