This article doesn't give a reason why this vessel is notable. I don't think it is more notable than MV Martha's Vineyard, which doesn't even have an article on Wikipedia. Interstellarity (talk) 20:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: FYI, large ferries usually get their own articles. That's not to say they should -- just that it's common.

Keep just as notable as any other ferry of which there are many articles. Her sister ship not having an article isn't justification for deleting this one. Perhaps the OP should create an article about the MV Martha's Vineyard to accompany this one. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 08:01, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Murgatroyd49. A stub can be expanded. QuincyMorgan (talk) 19:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - I'm seeing what I presume is significant coverage in Marine Engineering plus some meager coverage in The New York Times. A bevy of coverage from Martha's Vineyard (particularly when the ferry breaks down) puts it over the GNG threshold for me, but the case is not particularly strong.

Weak keep as per sources here, just about meets GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 17:22, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I think another week is warranted with two keeps and two weak keeps.

Keep - seems to have sufficient coverage online although more sources need to be added to the article. - Indefensible (talk) 20:51, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
