Thanks for starting this A. B. I have added my notes on the Sandy Hook list, there are a couple with claims to notability but most I'm not seeing. Will come back to review Boston list later. Melcous ( talk) 00:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply

I've now looked through the Boston list as well and noted one potential claim to notability. The rest, from my reading, all talk about these as men who lived, did a job, had a family etc - nothing that seems to rise to a claim for notability beyond the fact of them being maritime pilots, which I do not believe in and of itself is sufficient. Keen for others to look through and see what they think, including those who have been in the discussion on the author's talk page, @ Drmies: @ Graywalls: @ Netherzone:. thanks Melcous ( talk) 02:34, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Yeah, with claims like "He is best known for being a member of the Boston Pilots' Association for 19 years" we're not going to get very far. I've been with AAA for that long. Drmies ( talk) 16:13, 12 September 2023 (UTC) reply
