Speedy deletion nomination of 32' Transportable Port Security Boat


A tag has been placed on 32' Transportable Port Security Boat requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://digital-sf.com/worksamples/Boat%20Operator's%20Handbook_33TPSB-Jul-2012c.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Response boat - Small II
Hello, Tacticaltatical123. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Response boat - Small II, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ships at Pearl harbor
I reverted your change at Attack on Pearl Harbor. There was one Coast Guard cutter, the Taney. The other ten vessels cited were not cutters. It's a good reference, and probably worth including somewhere, but not in the infobox (and in particular, if you do cite 11 coast guard ships, you should decrease the "other" ships from 49 to 39). Regards, Tarl N.  ( discuss ) 19:44, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, you are correct about the other vessels, my mistake, but the Tiger and Reliance were both 125 ft Active class cutters and were classified as cutters along with the Taney. So it should be at least 3 cutters. Most of the historical documents about these cutters are now unavailable because the Coast Guard recently changed it's website. TacticalPepsodent1184 (talk) 20:53, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The Tiger and Reliance were listed as Patrol Boats (even in your second reference, to the Active class), rather than Cutters. Maybe today's definition is that anything longer than 20 meters is a cutter (I don't know, do you have a cite for that?), was it the case at the time? Tarl N.  ( discuss ) 01:54, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe the official classification was "Patrol Cutter" but like I said, most of the documents are unavailable now. This is the page that states that a cutter is at least 65 feet: *Assistant Commandant for Capability (CG-7) Office of Cutter Forces (CG-751) Even the Island class patrol boats or the Marine Protector class patrol boats are considered cutters, those are a few modern examples. I don't know if it this applied in the 1940's. TacticalPepsodent1184 (talk) 02:22, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That reference says what's under the Office of Cutter Forces, almost certainly a modern organizational definition. But applying that to 1941 is WP:OR. Unless you can show that definition applied back then, or find something which references those particular ships as cutters, it's a problem - the references you've cited so far don't use that term.

 * Ah. here. Another of the Active class, termed a cutter. Tarl N.  ( discuss ) 07:46, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Indeed it does. These 3 links refer to a ship of the Active class or the Active class itself as cutters, Coast Guard Cutters & Craft,Vigilant IV, ACTIVE cutters (125-ft) (1927).
