[edit] MS Sea Breeze
Stub description of a ship by someone who worked on it. Radiant! 12:41, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Short personal reminisence about a ship.-R. fiend 16:01, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)- No vote for now on the rewritten version. I'm not sure every cruise ship is encyclopedic just for being a cruise ship. Maybe the scary list Korath mentions could just have short blurbs on each of the ships instead of article stubs. Beyond size, capacity, nationality, and location there isn't much to say about them, and all that info could be part of a chart. Merge and redirect then maybe?-R. fiend 15:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - Not notable. --Cnwb 02:09, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Ship vanity. DaveTheRed 03:06, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Military vessels are inherently encyclopedic. Cruise ships need some indication of notability. Even if you disagree, then this should be scrapped as useless and then listed at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Note also the scary redlinks at List of cruise ships. —Korath (Talk) 08:52, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)- Keep. I have made a rewrite of this article, hoping to save it. I think cruise ships are notable. These things are among the largest moving objects carrying people! Sjakkalle 14:15, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, cruise ships are notable, that is why we have a Cruise ship article... just like we have an articles on Accountants and Scientologists - but not on each individual one, because some are individually notable, and others are not. I stick with my defining characteristics of a notable cruise ship from a few articles back: date of completion or launch can be identified and first of its kind, largest for its time, or involved in an historic event. --BD2412 02:05, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Respectfully disagree with you there. The reason we cannot have an article about every accountant or every scientologist is that there are too many of them. There are only a few hundred cruise ships in the world, and making an article on each of them is not as infeasible. Sjakkalle 08:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, no reason not to - David Gerard 11:00, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Strong keep. Absolutely no reason to not keep it. --Oldak Quill 15:10, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Cruise ships can be encyclopedic. Xezbeth 15:17, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
