SS Timothy Bloodworth[edit]

This doesn't appear to be a notable ship. There's little more to say about it that it exists and provide its service history. Stifle (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This was a WWII era Liberty ship, part of the US Navy. Nothing has changed since the previous discussion. Also note that there are quite a few Liberty ship articles. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only refs are directory listings. "Other liberty ship articles exist" is not a compelling argument for notability. Fails WP:N. Not everything owned by a military force during World War 2 is inherently notable. Edison (talk) 15:42, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- the references prove notability. Even if it hasn't been expanded beyond a stub, its still notable. Umbralcorax (talk) 15:42, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All ships are considered notable here. There are normally refs when a search is made adequately.DGG (talk) 18:21, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ship meets WP:N and WP:V. Ships generally are all notable enough for articles. Liberty ships are an important class of merchant ships. WP:SHIPS informed. Mjroots (talk) 07:18, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per Mjroots' argument on WP:N and WP:V. — Kjet (talk · contribs) 11:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Mjroots. --rogerd (talk) 20:04, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree that Liberty ships are, collectively, an important class, so it could be redirected to a list of Liberty ships. Membership in an important class does not confer inherent notability on every member of the class. Edison (talk) 01:57, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. SS Timothy Bloodworth was the first ship to be hit by a V-2 rocket, which is now noted in the article. — Bellhalla (talk) 02:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nom's rationale is a bit weak; if we boil down every article on every ship ever built, there would be little to fill an article other than that "it exists and provide its service history." Parsecboy (talk) 04:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Enough has been said. --Brad (talk) 05:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Per Mjroots. Manxruler (talk) 22:04, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
