Comment - The creator of Friendship Sloop "Old Baldy" has commented on the proposed deletion on the discussion page. Is it worth redirecting them to this discussion? MidgleyDJ 06:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. MidgleyDJ 06:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This particular yacht is nn. But perhaps the author should be encouraged to author an article of "Friendship Sloops" as a class of yacht. --Pleather 07:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe the author already has done (see:Friendship Sloop). "Old Baldy" could possibly be included as an example? Perhaps then some of the material could be merged. MidgleyDJ 08:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, "Old Baldy" already appears in multiple volumes of the printed press; she is already noted. Agreed that both the section on the type of vessel "Friendship sloop" needs expansion, but that does not preclude documenting individual vessels much in the same way that the U.S.S. Enterprise has a separate history apart from the class of ships known as "aircraft carriers". Friendship Sloops were contemporary working vessels of the famous Glouchester Grand Banks fishing schooners some of which are used as yachts and cruising ships today."Jwilsonnh 23:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
