This is another ship article created by Jpfoynes ~~(whose other ship articles are in Proposed deletion)~~ (whose SS SNA 8 article is in Proposed deletion) whose only reference is an archive. This one's only major event is that it was attacked.

Comment, found this site that appears to have quite a bit of info about this ship, for example an auction site - "A BUILDER'S MODEL FOR THE CARGO SHIP S.S. CORSEA, BUILT BY S.P. AUSTIN & SON FOR CORY COLLIERS LTD, 1921 ... Apart from a technical change of ownership in 1946 to William Cory & Son Ltd, Corsea remained with the firm until 1953 when she was sold to the Finnish firm of Rederi Ab Luleå who ran her as Nylandia until sold for breaking in 1958.".

Keep there are several mentions online, so sounds like it is notable, as would all the other ships written about by this author. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, then... I've got some improvement work to do if this AFD result turns out to be Keep... Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). This message was left at 20:31, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This article is sorely in need of improvement, but AfD is not for the deletion of an article merely because it is in poor shape. Sources exist that will enable an article to be written, such as Aamimeri, the Sunderland site, Convoyweb and Lloyd's Register via Plimsoll Ship Data. TheDragonFire300, that should keep you busy for a while. Mjroots (talk) 15:45, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As mentioned once above, this author's other ship articles were proposed for deletion by Brad101, and I couldn't find any sources with an initial Google search (maybe bad search terms?), but now the above users managed to find some. Yeah, you're right. This article is sorely in need of improvement, and that's why once I tagged it with {{Rewrite}}. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions).

I've given Jpfoynes some advice re writing better articles. As for the SS SNA 8 article, I'd let the prod expire. Deletion of a poorly written article that does not demonstate WP:GNG is met would not prevent an article being created a a later date which does meet GNG.

Delete Article is not helpful as the same information exists in List_of_shipwrecks_in_November_1940#11_November. Unless the article can be expanded past basic information it should only remain listed in the origin article. Brad (talk) 23:13, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Brad101: - it has already been shown that the article can be expanded as the sources exist to do so. AfD is not for cleanup. Mjroots (talk) 11:47, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I see the creator has made some comments on the talk page for this deletion Lyndaship (talk) 16:26, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Have read them. If Jpfoynes can correct information stated by adding new sources, he should be WP:BOLD and do so. Similarly for any errors I've made in translating from German language sources, as I'm only about de-1/2. Mjroots (talk) 10:51, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
