 * Keep Yes, they are all partial matches but I'm considering further down MOS:D and also WP:PTM. The encyclopedia is certainly often referred to with the single word "Britannica" but is this not done for any of the other entries? I expect MV Stena Britannica is often called simply "Britannica" so I think the ship could be included (note also the set index MS Stena Britannica). On the other hand I doubt whether Pax Britannica is ever referred to as "Britannica". On the whole I think the page may well reduce confusion rather than add to it and that is what the guidelines are seeking to achieve. Thincat (talk) 11:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Certainly worth keeping. A search for "Britannica" brings up the encyclopedia, a number of schools with the name Britannica (Budapest and Shanghai, Pax Britannica the phrase and the Pax Britannica series by Jan Morris.  JT dale Talk ~ 19:44, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
