Esperance Star

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable boat. No WP:SIGCOV found. Article appears to have been created by the boat's skipper. schetm (talk) 00:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: This has been through an AfD before (result was no consensus), so I don't think a soft delete is appropriate; relisting to see if anyone else wants to review.

 * Weak delete I've done a reasonably thorough search via the web and Australasian newspaper databases and found very little on the subject, but have substantially edited the article in an attempt to save it if possible but it is clearly very sparse. I don't think there's currently enough WP:IRSs to sustain it. Cabrils (talk) 21:41, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete lacks RS with SIGCOV that addresses the subject directly and in-depth.  // Timothy ::  talk  17:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete article is way too brief, no sign of anyone expanding the content. Teraplane (talk) 23:14, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * With respect, neither of these objections are reasons for deletion--please familiarise yourself with WP:DEL. Cabrils (talk) 03:07, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete or/and redirect to Trevor Jackson (diver) -- the article is currently pretty bare because Cabrils did a good job of removing all the non-verifiable content, but even then there's at least a claim to notability made as a well-known dive boat. I largely agree with the delete votes that the sources don't quite back that "notoriety" up, but I do see enough passing mentions (link1, link2, link3) to wonder if there's some value in redirecting to the skipper that it's clearly tied to. Given the sources, I'd feel comfortable adding a mention of the ES to the Jackson page, which would be at least one minimum for a redirect. Alyo  (chat·edits) 22:12, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
