Exploding warships

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The page is an un-sourced mash of original research and speculation. It's likely unsalvageable, and should be deleted. Parsecboy (talk) 16:11, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Also a touch of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Many many warships since the dawn of gunpowder have exploded. The precise reasons range from a mistaken match lit in the gunpowder magazine to a misfired homing torpedo. RayAYang (talk) 17:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Aside from the title, which might more accurately be 'List of some capital ships that suffered magazine explosions, which I think is due to faulty British-made cordite', the article itself admits, 'wideranging investigations...came up with different explanations for the incidents' . This is not the place for someone to publish their Original Research, that all these losses were due to British made cordite. Benea (talk) 23:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I tried to see how this might be saved but its been there almost two years without much direction and there's no real way to save anything on here. Drop the bomb. --Brad (talk) 23:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * comment the entry might be a good Redirect to Hellburners or Fire ship as they are set afire or set to explode on purpose.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 23:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Agree with above comment on redirect. This "article" is one long unreferenced litany of twaddle. --Harlsbottom (talk | library | book reviews) 03:06, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the article is a combination of OR and an indiscriminate collection of information given the wide range of factors which caused the different ships to 'explode'. Nick Dowling (talk) 11:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
