Appledore IV

another non-notable boat. This is getting funnier every time. Delete.  RasputinAXP  c 20:25, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I could see an article on BaySail, with this boat listed there, but it doesn't deserve its own article. Gwernol 21:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete spam. --BillC 21:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment -- Tall ships are a sufficiently unusual sight in this day and age that there aren't that many of them. Abstaining. Haikupoet 01:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - Haikupoet is right, tall ships are unusual and some are definitely notable, but this is a 1989-built leisure boat used by a commercial operation. Compare with Tall Ships Youth Trust and Stavros S Niarchos (ship). Trivia fans: Stavros was completed and fittted out at Appledore yards (no connection). I'm undecided. It looks like spam for BaySail as-is (TSYT is a not-for-profit), but open to persuasion either way. Just zis Guy you know? 13:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, it's a boat owned by a non-profit that I've never heard of... and I'm pretty familiar with Bay City, Michigan. I need to see a stronger case for inclusion than is already laid out. If it had some sort of historical context I'd feel differently. BaySail doesn't have an article and presumably doesn't meet WP:CORP (if you want to apply that to a non-profit) so I can't really support article creation for a redirect.--Isotope23 16:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
