Same reason as below nomination. See this. — Ceranthor [Formerly LordSunday] 19:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

same answer as before i have only started to work on this. i'm new and it took me some time to do the infobox. Okinoshima was a large warship by any standard (over 4500 tons full load, the size of a cruiser). since i see that wikipedia has tons of articles about even little warships Okinoshima deserves an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loosmark (talk • contribs) 20:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: The cleanup tags had been put on the article less than 7 hours before, right after the article was created -- that's not exactly giving enough time to let them work. —Quasirandom (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Give the creator some time to work on it.--Woland (talk) 22:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Article needed expansion and improvement as per cleanup tags I added (now removed) - but not AFD. --DAJF (talk) 00:20, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I found the ja article. ja:沖島 (敷設艦). Oda Mari (talk) 14:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As I noted on the other minelayer deletion page, any Jane's Fighting Ships edition from this time would provide tons of coverage — this ship is far past the minimum threshhold for notability. Nyttend (talk) 14:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As stated on the other deletion page, commissioned warships are considered inherently notable. Benea (talk) 15:21, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Suggest Speedy keep per Benea et al. Parsecboy (talk) 16:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
