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
