Flying Dutchman (Pirates of the Caribbean)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I prodded this with "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.". It was deprodded without any helpful rationale and the article has not been improved. It has no reception/significance/development/whatever section, and is a pure plot summary. I did find this, but it's a WP:INTERVIEW with the film producers. I checked the fan-wiki article at https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/Flying_Dutchman and it lists no better sources. I am afraid this is one of those articles that may well have home on such fan wikis, but not on Wikipedia (due to not meeting GNG). Thoughts?

 * Delete It doesn't even have a See Also to the actual Flying Dutchman, but deserves little more than a mention under the 'film' section of that article. No significant coverage, as nom notes. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:45, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete There may be sources out there relating to the creation and design of the ship for the movies, but that information, if found, could be included in the production sections of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and/or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Right now there is no useful information in this article to be redirected or merged somewhere else. Rhino131 (talk) 12:57, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: A fan-based entity, already losing its relevance. Non-notable. Kolma8 (talk) 15:52, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean); self-explanatory. Yuotort (talk) 03:21, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not seeing anything to merge anywhere, since the article consists largely of plot summaries, which are already covered elsewhere, and a lot of what appears to be original research. Rorshacma (talk) 06:09, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing to merge, and not a likely enough search term to bother with a redirect.  Kncny11  (shoot) 20:33, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This kind of in-universe content belongs on TV Tropes or Wikia, not on Wikipedia. I agree that there is nothing worth merging. TompaDompa (talk) 23:12, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
