I've long been a supporter of the position that articles on incomplete ships should have their own articles here on Wikipedia, but after watching these two battleship articles mired in merge discussions for some months and seeing how much Wikipedia's standards for quality content have evolved in the years since I argued for the retention of articles on incomplete ships I now think it a good time to revisit the issue here. I am nominating the articles USS Kentucky (BB-66) and USS Illinois (BB-65) for deletion on grounds that since the FAC's for these ships our standards for an article's quality content have evolved to the point where it would now be preferable to cover the material presented in these articles in the class articles for the Iowa-class battleships and the Montana-class battles

  • I've long been a supporter of the position that articles on incomplete ships should have their own articles here on Wikipedia, but after watching these two battleship articles mired in merge discussions for some months and seeing how much Wikipedia's standards for quality content have evolved in the years since I argued for the retention of articles on incomplete ships I now think it a good time to revisit the issue here. I am nominating the articles USS Kentucky (BB-66) and USS Illinois (BB-65) for deletion on grounds that since the FAC's for these ships our standards for an article's quality content have evolved to the point where it would now be preferable to cover the material presented in these articles in the class articles for the Iowa-class battleships and the Montana-class battleships. In nominating here I also intended to settle the various merge proposals that have been made which have garnered little if any attention and therefore have been inconclusive in settling the issue of whether or not the ship articles should be merged into the class articles mentioned above. At issue here is whether the ships still satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards and therefore have the ability to remain independent articles, or whether the notability standards have shifted such that they now fail the notability requirements to retain independent articles here.
