This is a redundant orphan article with very little existing unique content or potential for expansion. There is one historical Canadian icebreaker project, the Polar 8 Project (and the article also covers its short-lived predecessors, Polar 7 and Polar 10), and three ongoing projects (polar icebreakers, program icebreakers and multi-purpose vessels) under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (primarily covered here until they have progressed far enough to warrant a dedicated article). A separate article covering only Canadian icebreaker projects is therefore not needed; if everything goes as planned, in a few years it can be expected to shrink into covering just the cancelled 1980s project. In order to avoid content growing stale, I propose that Proposed icebreakers of Canada is deleted and effort is focused on individual project articles with summary either under NSS or, as it presently is, under the CCG equipment article.

As an alternative to deletion, the article could be merged to a new article/list Proposed ships of Canada covering also other projects in Category:Proposed ships of the Royal Canadian Navy and any non-RCN Canadian ships under Category:Proposed ships, Category:Cancelled ships etc. However, if "proposed ships of XXX" articles are not commonly created for countries, I am primarily proposing the deletion as per above.

Delete. As both proposed vessels have their own articles, there is no need for this one. Kablammo (talk) 14:23, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree this article superfluous. It might be useful to have a link to Polar 8 Project in List of equipment of the Canadian Coast Guard, either under "Procurement" or in a new "Cancelled projects" section. Davidships (talk) 16:41, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there are so many other articles that the information about the Polar 8 and the proposed Class 2 icebreakers are covered by. I don't see that this article adds anything to those; nor is a reasonable search term. It's possible though, that there's space for a summary article of the various Canadian icebreakers, proposed, in-service, and under-construction for the Canadian Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy (a combined article given the class overlap). But this is not that article. BTW, there is also List of icebreakers#Canada Nfitz (talk) 07:00, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
