Deletion proposal

Yes I object to this proposal; this article is as notable as any in the categories in which it's been placed, and the subject is well documented in the references given. I cannot see any reason for labelling it as such. Xyl 54 (talk) 16:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep From Wiktionary:

encyclopedic, adjective

2. as with an encyclopedia, having a comprehensive scope, especially of information or knowledge

Removing a promising article on one convoy from the totality of the Atlantic War would leave a significant hole behind. This may not be a famous convoy, but it has every right to belong in an encyclopedia claiming any sort of validly comprehensive scope. I cannot even understand the admin's decision to prod this article. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

? Then why don't you remove the prod tag? --Orange Mike | Talk 16:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and removed the prod. Much article expansion has taken place including the listing of multiple print references. I believe that the case for deletion now is at least unclear. Regards.--Cube lurker (talk) 17:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the record I must have edit-conflicted on the removal but I support the removal. (Although I would have used a different edit summary).--Cube lurker (talk) 17:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
