Highly non-notable video game ship. Author attempted to contest the PROD by adding a hangon tag, so I've brought it here. The prodder suggested a possible redirect to GTA4, but I don't think this will be useful. Probably redirect to Platypus. Glenfarclas (talk) 19:33, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I had placed the PROD template. Agree with nominator. Nothing shows that the subject is notable. Cannot find any kind of online sources. Redirecting to Platypus should be the thing to do -- Raziman T V (talk) 19:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, Very well known Cargo Vessel in game, No redirecting the mammal, has nothing to do with the ship. --Dian-Lou-Aopa25 (talk) 19:36, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete redirect doesn't make sense as nobody will ever type "The Platypus" in the search box when looking for a video game. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Can find no sources that would lead me to believe that this passes WP:NOTABILITY on Google or Google news. RP459 (talk) 19:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment may be possible to find notability if we know what game it was from...RP459 (talk) 19:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]- follow up comment it is from Grand Theft Auto IV the only source I can find is an fan site... RP459 (talk) 19:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, just one second, hold everything users... [http://gta.wikia.com/Platypus information on the platypus galore... your telling me its not notabile enough it has its own wikia page on the gta iv wikia. jesus. Like I stand by and will vote for my Keep. Dian-Lou-Aopa25 (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment have a look at WP:NOTABILITY a fan site does not qualify as sufficient notability... Also please have a look at the message I left on your talk page. RP459 (talk) 19:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - redirecting to Platypus doesn't really make sense as it is unusual to include a definite article when searching. The video game ship clearly does not meet WP:N. --bonadea contributions talk 22:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. 58.170.83.117 (talk) 00:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as not notable. Otherwise redirect to HMAS Platypus. Pakaraki (talk) 19:18, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete – That redirect would be ambiguous and not very useful. Otherwise, it's not notable by quite a bit. –MuZemike 17:36, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
