About Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tempest 23

 * Gunking round the internet a little, I am (initially) finding ony the sources you cited. As I see it, the problem here is temporal.  This was a good little boat produced for several years, all of which antedated the internet.  I would suggest that there was lots of notability, and that it needs to be found in reviews, commentary, test sails, etc. at the time.  Presumably that owuld be in print media, primarily magazines. That would be my initial suggestion.   7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 22:54, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Best hope — I found this note on line.  "I think this is the book I looked through quite a few years ago and if it is it had quite a lot of information about his designs in it. I don't remember just how much detail it gave on the various plans, but I think it gave a fair amount. I was able to find my father's boat (one of his lesser designs..the 23' O'Day Tempest) and as I recall they had a profile drawing for it tucked away in the back of the book, and that they had considerably more information on the bigger and more.  It is, of course, long out of print, but maybe you can get a copy through inter-library loan, or if you've got plenty of dough, pick up a used copy."  I think this might be a good WP:RS and would go a long way toward establishing notability.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 23:03, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I would also suggest that if you ferret around in the lines in the Phillip L. Rhodes article, there appears to be a trove of relevant information waiting to be uncovered. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 23:15, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Mystic Seaport library has primary and secondary material on this boat.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎</b>) 23:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
