Project 18-class destroyer

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

At first sight the article seems legit, with sources and all, but neither of the sources says what the article claims they say, i e everything in the article fails verification, and the legitimate sounding "Indian Defence Research Wing" that is used as source for everything technical in the article turns out to be a private website hosted by GoDaddy, the article used as source isn't a real article but someone's personal opinion that the website expressly doesn't take any responsibility for, and even that post doesn't say anything even remotely similar to what the article creator claims it says. So some random dude posted a personal opinion on a reliable seeming but decidedly not RS website (an RS website on the subject would have a "gov.in" address, and wouldn't be hosted by GoDaddy), and a random WP editor then adds a lot of fantasy stuff to the post and creates an article here about a class of super-duper Indian warships that don't exist. If something comes out of the project, and a reliable source can be found, a new article can be created, but this one belongs in the trash bin. Drachentöter001 (talk) 13:56, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Note The creator has removed the most blatant fantasies from the "article" but everything that is left is still either completely unsourced or failed verification. Drachentöter001 (talk) 10:58, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG, it may become a thing but for now its WP:TOOSOON. Mztourist (talk) 03:35, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing GNG on grounds of lack of reliable sources and coverage. GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:47, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
