The Sinking of The Adriatic[edit]

A news event with no indication of enduring notability. Jimmy Pitt talk 09:51, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The actual encyclopaedic subject here — presuming that in depth documentation beyond catalogue information can be found, which I haven't found yet — would be MV Adriatic, per all of the articles to be found in Category:Merchant ships by country. This isn't an encyclopaedia article, it is a summary news report placed on the wrong project. And it's based upon news reports that aren't even consistent as to their facts.
Interestingly, my search for sources, to see whether this could be rapidly refactored into MV Adriatic, turned up the fact that we don't have anything on the Adriatic Tankers Shipping Company, which is documented in some depth in multiple sources. Uncle G (talk) 11:51, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to MV Adriatica, which appears to be her correct name (Vesseltracker) and should be created. There are sufficient sources to give her dimensions - Odin, Interglobal Shipping 3001. Mjroots (talk) 06:10, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect/Rename to MV Adriatica. Event (probably) fails/will fail WP:NOTNEWS, but the ship itself is notable, and the event can be covered as part of the ship's history. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:22, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to ship's article which should be created.—Diiscool (talk) 15:00, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
