Lack of multiple non-trivial independent sources about Jumpships. Pure WP:CRUFT. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 20:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * not necessarily; also not really a suitable criteria for deletion.M.U.D. 20:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Main form of interstellar travel within the Battletech franchise. Article has minimal sources, primarily from one of the roleplaying books. Weak keep to avoid constant repetition and justification whenever a Jumpship is mentioned in another Battletech article. -- saberwyn 21:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I could not find anything that would make this article look encyclopedic. &mdash; Nearly Headless Nick  15:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks,
 * Merge to BattleTech technology (itself barely notable, or possibly not so at all). cab 11:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Jumpships appear to be discussed in that article already. · j e r s y k o talk · 15:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Jumpship (Battletech) at least has inline citations, whereas BattleTech technology has none as all; those cites would seem to be worth preserving, since someone went to the trouble of looking it up. cab 01:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Nothing but fancruft. Can't find any reliable sources and its just totally unencyclopedic material. Terence Ong 恭喜发财 14:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant to BattleTech technology. · j e r s y k o talk · 15:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable topic and verifiable article. Improvement over Battletech Technology M.U.D. 16:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. - Cruft. --Bryson 17:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable fictional entity, mentioned in about a 100 books, another 100 role-playing books, and several computer games. Plus dozens of webpages.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm torn between Keep and Merge to BattleTech technology- this Jumpship page is notable (at least if discussion in published materials from at least 5 unrelated companies over 20 years earns an explanatory page); but the material is better suited to the Technology page.Skiltao 05:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The technology should be a glossary (with description) of non-notable terms. I believe jumpship is notable enough to deserve its own page.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:20, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a wargamer, I'm biased, but jumpships do play a crucial, if sometimes unsung, role in the Battletech universe. -- Groggy Dice T | C 14:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
