Per directions that accompany the "recommended for deletion" notice, I have removed the deletion proposal that was attached to the article on 18 September 2018. The article is part of a project to improve and expand Wikipedia coverage of U.S. federal fleets beyond that of the U.S. Navy. Notability concersn noted, but hundreds of U.S. Navy vessels with no greater notability have their own articles, as do U.S. Coast Guard vessels and those of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and NOAA that have no greater notability that this vessel's. They go unchallenged on Wikipedia as to notability, so notability criteria would seem to rest on U.S. Government fleet service rather than some other standard such as the relative interest of a particular Wikipedian. Overreliance on a single source also noted, but that source is extremely credible and provides its own sources, and this vessel otherwise is particularly under-covered in Internet documentation of vessels; more research rather than deletion is the key to addressing that issue, and research continues. It will take much longer than the few hours the article has been posted for Wikipedians to examine other sources and add their information to the article. Meanwhile, it does not make sense to single out this one article when hundreds of other articles cover ships with U.S. federal service that are no more (or less) notable.Mdnavman (talk) 17:18, 18 September 2018 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]
