Transpacific

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested PROD. Dictionary definition followed by a description of things that may include the word "Transpacific". An adjective is not usually the basis for an encyclopedia article, which nearly always describes a noun. Aside from use of the same adjective, there seems little common purpose in the rest of the items listed under this title. This title was around for years with some truly bad prose in the lead section; cleaning it up showed how hollow the item really was. Wtshymanski (talk) 14:21, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Move to Transpacific travel or something similar to satisfy WP:ADJECTIVE's requirement that article names be in noun form, and then edit the article accordingly. Transpacific travel seems like a viable subject for an encyclopedia article; far from a simple dicdef, it can cover the history of transpacific travel, modes of travel, travel statistics, etc.  Note there is also a similar article named Transatlantic Crossing which until recently was titled Transatlantic; given the similarity, the fate of these articles could reasonably be tied together.

 * Delete Nothing worth merging here. The article seems to exist, not to talk about Transpacific travel in history, or nowadays by air or sea, or about the Transpacific Yacht Race which it doesn't even mention; its main focus seems to be the totally WP:CRYSTAL BALL dream of a Trans-Global Highway. --MelanieN (talk) 02:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Things that are related to transpacific aviation should be moved somewhere else (maybe transpacific travel), as long as we add more details, but other than that, delete per Slatersteven. Big  top  みんな空の下  (  トーク  ) 03:58, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
