No indication that this vessel is Notable. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:45, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article does demonstrate at least some notability. Referencing could be much better, but that's no reason to delete. Mjroots (talk) 19:05, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I see zero evidence of notability. Rjensen (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is a book by Gary and Patricia Bannerman (bibliography in BC Ferries article) which provides sufficient information to establish notability for the ship. I own a copy, but will not have access to it until at least August. Arsenikk (talk) 08:18, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As a general rule named ships that are designed to carry passengers are almost always going to be notable. Editors would be well advised to take a deep breath and look carefully BEFORE sending these kinds of articles to AfD. In this case a quick search yielded no shortage of reliable secondary sources dealing with the ship. See (001) (002 (003) (004) (005). Those are just a random sampling from the first page of hits. Conceding that the article needs some work, there is absolutely no doubt that the subject passes GNG. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:43, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to N-class ferry. Same for MV Nicola. The ships are notable: as Ad Orientem notes, ships are big things and they do tend to be. However there is very little to say about these three that I think couldn't be said most clearly in one overall article on the class. It's also 40 years since they were built and so I don't expect the class to gain new members. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:07, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Agree notable, but single article covering all three of the the class is better considering the amount of material available - and more convenient for readers. Davidships (talk) 15:53, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
