Minerva class battleship

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A fictional (anime) type of ship with apparently no real-world significance or analysis as required by WP:FICTION. From the navbox, it appears that we have 25 articles all about ships from this same series, which maybe should also be AFD'd. I have no background in this but it looks like fancruft to an outside observer. Could it be transwikied anywhere? Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Follow-up. We already have the general article List of Cosmic Era warships and spacecraft, which covers all the ship classes (though it is also tagged as being written from an in-universe perspective....). Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect to List of Cosmic Era warships and spacecraft. Fails WP:FICTION and WP:N, and is pretty much fancruft with a side of OR. Collectonian (talk) 20:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect I really don't see much worth salvaging from the original article, but it completely fails WP:PLOT. --Farix (Talk) 21:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect per concerns noted above regarding policies and guidance. Hiding T 12:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Also, I agree that the other stand-alone articles in the template should be deleted and maybe even some of the list articles. Doctorfluffy (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Subject is the central scene for much of its setting, comparable to the Enterprise in Star Trek, of the Millenium Falcon in Star Wars.  The setting itself is one of the most successful franchises in Japanese animation.  Of course, the article asserts none of this and is lacking in sources.  One difficulty is the best sources are likely on Japanese and will take more effort to find.  Edward321 (talk) 03:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to List of Cosmic Era warships and spacecraft. A shame that there's not much worth salvaging here. Maikeru (talk) 03:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
