[edit] SS Timothy Bloodworth

Contested prod. Appears to be a boat with little or no historical significance beyond that the creator's grandfather served on board (all respects to him). Stifle (talk) 19:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, the bar for inclusion for WWII ships is fairly low. While stubby, the article is fairly well referenced. I'd advise a look at SS John Stagg, uploaded by the same user. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 20:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - The writers father was not the only person in the world to server on the boat. Appears to be well cited. May need so cleanup but think it is overall encylopdic material. Chris Kreider 23:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as boat was one of numerous convoy ships but apart from being hit with a rocket once was not individually notable. This in a conflict that routinely saw ~50 ships sunk or damaged every month. I fail to see the significance. --Dhartung | Talk 23:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This does has historic value and the article is well-referenced. --Marriedtofilm 07:27, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Well referenced, obviously not spam, and Wikipedia is not paper. Category:Liberty ships has 78 articles, so we only need about 2,700 more to finish the lot. Ok, that makes me shudder a little. Mostly we happen to have articles on ships named after notable people. But I don't recollect any policy or guideline that would lead me to believe that this should be deleted under our deletion policy. GRBerry 04:10, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
