Other than it being involved in a collision that sank another ship almost 160 years ago, I have not found a single piece of information about this vessel. As a result, the article has not expanded beyond its single sentence since its creation over two years ago. Note that they were many other ships built after this one that were also named "Vesta," including a Danish cargo ship lost during WWI [1], a German cargo ship wrecked in 1932 [2], and a Dutch freighter that operated from 1907 to 1946 [3], so do not mistake them for the ship in this article that was from the 1850s.

Redirect to SS Arctic#Sinking. The only notable aspect of the ship appears to be the collision. None of the other Vestas seem to be worth articles either. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice to recreation as a shipindex page. No need to retain as a redirect. The accident received significant coverage at the time. It is conceivable that someone with knowledge of French and access to French newspapers of the period would be able to research the ship and write its history. Currently, it fails WP:GNG. If recreated, the article should be housed at a title that disambiguates by year of launch. Mjroots (talk) 10:53, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to SS Arctic#Sinking for now, without prejudice for the redirect being converted to a shipindex. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 15:00, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, BusterD (talk) 13:41, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: While it appears there's no consensus for keeping this page, neither do I see clear consensus as to the preferred outcome. Maybe more eyes on this process will help. BusterD (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

REdirect as others have said. WE have no information, otehr than her bare existence. My guess is that she was a NN ship, ofg which no one would have heard, but for the sinking of the otehr ship. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:31, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
