maybe this page should be on homepage ? it is realy hard to find this site —Preceding unsigned comment added by OspreyPL (talk • contribs) 19:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
We Americans need something to feel proud about. Leave it here for a while. If Mr.Phillips wants it removed, then by all means, do so. But at least let us think about this person and about the events surrounding his capture and eventual freedom. We would all do well to ponder this event.
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.9.245 (talk) 22:40, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
This is an important u-turn moment in history of Somalian piracy. This article shall not be removed. I am proud of US reaponse to this difficult situation. (and lol - I am not even an American) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.46.19 (talk) 23:15, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

This isn't something up for debate right now. The proper steps were taken, by someone who felt like Phillips doesn't deserve his own wikipedia article. As it says at the top of this page, the result is "no concensus" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Richard_Phillips_(captain) It was recommended to be re-evaluated at a later date. At that time, someone who wants to do it, can follow the proper channels. That way it doesn't get discussed it here. --JAYMEDINC (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Merging seems sensible to me. 90.242.145.14 (talk) 21:06, 13 April 2009 (UTC)Andrew_w_munro
i have another point to make, i am interested in this man because he has been a witness of some extreme 'counter'violence. Now being a captain on the high seas is not only romantic, there is a lot of corruption and (eg. around somalia), illegal dumping he may have knowledge of. That he is still a captain surely suggests so. So i saw this picture of his with the commodore, and he looked rather shocked. Also i found no direct reference to his words after the incident. Although he definetly escaped in possesion of his tongue. So my impression is he is not that much impressed with the 'rescue' or commando action. Anyway, wether he is or not, he will be relevant, either he will be among the first to publically claim a negative experience from being rescued by terror squads, or he will be one of the next to write a predictable book about the 'horrors of hostageness' (promote swat iow.). So i would be interested very much in specific links to his own words and, the sooner the better. 24.132.170.97 (talk) 00:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Merge. This is a no-brainer. Capt. Phillips' life does not merit a wikipedia page based on anything other than this pirate incident, and the pirate incident has its own article. This article should not exist. Vidor (talk) 04:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Merge, no-brainer per WP:1E. Quite clear. Thanks, Genius101Guestbook 22:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Merge - classic case of WP:1E. I suggest it gets re-nominated for AfD in a week or two once he's out of the news. Peter Ballard (talk) 01:16, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Mere, not thing else to say beyond the piracy incident, and it's already in Maersk Alabama hijacking. 207.233.71.96 (talk) 03:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
This merger was never properly discussed, and should never have happened. --JAYMEDINC (talk) 17:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
The merger had NO consensus. Those who advocate the merger have the burden of proof as per WP policy. 99.35.227.203 (talk) 23:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
