An article about a prop in an insignificant movie D O N D E groovily Talk to me 05:06, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Yes, it's an article about a prop in an insignificant movie.

Please point me to the policy that states we delete articles for being about props, about movies because the movie was insignificant, or that the whole category Category:Fictional airships should be deleted.

Yes, it's an insignificant movie. Oddly though, the airship has become rather more notable than the movie ever did. This prop has become a popular trope across steampunk, where the shape of the Lebaudy "hooked" airship envelope has achieved a popularity out of all proportion to its occurrence at the time - due almost entirely to this film prop. The airship, and not primarily the film, have been used Disney in their theme parks, even to this day. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:44, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There seems to be plenty of commentary on this out there. What's interesting is that people seem to keep supposing that it's a creation of Jules Verne when, in fact, it was Donald G. Payne. Warden (talk) 15:02, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable per WP:GNG, no significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Trivia doesn't count as coverage (and we don't keep articles just because someone finds them "interesting").Folken de Fanel (talk) 00:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Seeing as there does seem to be a good bank of information out there (this certainly isn't a stub) this should be kept. However, I just feel it's a little too obscure to have it's own page, although it definitely requires a significant subsection on the film's page. --Sebread (talk) 17:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
