Akasha (catamaran)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article seems to be an advert; appears to fail the GNG. Plenty of ghits but they're advertising (yacht charters &c) rather than substantial independent coverage. bobrayner (talk) 15:41, 13 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Wow, nice boat. Plenty of web pages on yacht charters show that the boat is popular and notable in some sense, but I also have not been able to locate independent, reliable, secondary sources about the boat itself. Mark viking (talk) 19:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - agree with Mark viking above; the boat is very nice. And who doesn't like a nice boat? But WP:ILIKEIT isn't a great argument for keeping the article and I can't find anything independent that gives coverage of the vessel itself. Lots of touristy, "holiday on our lovely boat", type things, but nothing you could use to build a reliably sourced encyclopaedic article. Stalwart 111  01:42, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I tried again and failed to find some independent reliable sources for the boat. I am clueless about notability guidelines for transportation-related articles, but an apparent lack of independent RS dooms this article to deletion. If such sources become available, article recreation is reasonable. Mark viking (talk) 01:16, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - This topic appears to fail WP:N. Source searches have only provided this passing mention in Creamer Media's Engineering News and this passing mention on AOL Luxist. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
