- Keep. A search on Google Books and Google News shows sufficent information to establish notability. Proper following of WP:BEFORE requires more than a "cursory glance" at WP:GHITS; nominating the article within an hour of its creation is somewhat WP:BITEy as well. (Also citing WP:MEMORIAL is somewhat odd seeing as nobody was lost in the wreck.) - The Bushranger One ping only 00:55, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Bushranger: Um? I just searched on Google Books and Google News and couldn't find one relevant book/news source. King Jakob C2 01:35, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You need to use more specific search terms. "Western World"+ship+"New Jersey"+1853 finds sources. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:56, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
