Not notable; I can't even find a picture of this ship. Ironmatic1 (talk) 00:08, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as large number of sources cited shows notability.

  • Very Strong Keep There are thousands of ship articles without pictures. Just because someone hasn't released a photograph under a Wikipedia compatible licence does not mean that the ship is not notable. This has to be the worst reason to nominate an article for deletion ever. Mjroots (talk) 03:40, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • From a first glance, the sources on the article seem to be enough for notability. I don't see why your difficulty in finding an image of the ship is relevant. Enervation (talk) 07:08, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very Strong Keep The article is adequately referenced and the vessel is as notable as the string of identical cruise liners that apparently warrant separate individual articles Murgatroyd49 (talk) 07:40, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The deletion rationale is fairly weak here. The references are adequate and there are several images available online, such as at https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/fisherman/items/1.0012063. While I couldn't spot an image with a licence acceptable for Commons, I suspect it would be possible to craft a fair use rationale for upload on Wikipedia. From Hill To Shore (talk) 08:59, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • As the vessel is still afloat, I think it would be very difficult to argue for the inclusion of a non-free image. Mjroots (talk) 05:31, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I believe there is enough RS for an article. Most of the article links are dead. I can see why the nominator put this up for deletion. One has to search alternate names to find anything at all. Lightburst (talk) 11:42, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No relevant reason given for deletion. There seems to be sufficient acceptablecontent, with appropriate referencing. From a quick internet search there is certainly scope for further expansion covering the period as Kelso serving Tristan da Cunha (already mentioned in at least one other WP article) and, while I would expect there to be material for her 25 years as a Japanese government research ship, sourcing it may be more of a challenge.

  • Keep, has significant coverage. Fulmard (talk) 19:01, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - not being able to find a photo of the ship is not a reason to nominate it for deletion. Next time, go to the articles talk page and place the {{photo requested}} tag at the top of the page, directly beneath any WikiProject tags. As for the notability, this article seems to check out and it is sourced strongly and accordingly.
