 * I have deleted this article per the G7 CSD citeria after the deletion was requested by the author of this article. -MBK004 03:36, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

There appear to be no independent sources for this proposed ship, only the rather glossy promotional website, that has been in existence all of three weeks. It makes grand claims but the only other reference to this project I can find is here, on a page that lists dozens of attempts to build a new titanic. No funding sources have been finalised, suggests this is a bit crystal ball. Other AFDs such as this one would indicate that we ought to await further developments before a wikipedia article can be justified. Benea (talk) 00:53, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is a project of a nonprofit foundation which has been in existence only three months, located in central North America far from any sea, yet proposes to commission and operate a vessel evocative (yet three times the size) of RMS Titanic.  Wikipedia reflects notability, it should not be used to create it, nor to publicize someone's good-faith but unrealized and improbable project.   Kablammo (talk) 01:40, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and the arguments at Articles for deletion/Princess Kaguya (cruise ship) except the G4 criteria. -MBK004 01:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Too speculative. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:52, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed this article does indeed have many issues and should be deleted and IS very unrealistic until further developments. Theoanders23 (talk) 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * NB-- Theo is the editor who authored it; can this be treated as db:author? Kablammo (talk) 03:12, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably, but I'd err on the side of caution and have you ask him to tag the page itself with that CSD tag just to be sure. -MBK004 05:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete It appears that this is actually some promotion for the "SS Titan Foundation", which wants to raise 1.6 billion dollars in donations over the next three years, a tall order even if one is living somewhere that isn't experiencing a recession. Wikipedia is not the place for fundraisers.  By the way, Wikipedia is there when you need it -- now it needs you.  Donate now.  But other than that, Wikipedia is not the place for fundraisers.

 * Delete -- even if there were RS, this would fail WP:CRYSTAL. There is no certainty that it will happen, so there should be no article.  Peterkingiron (talk) 00:18, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
