I don't see how this can be notable. We've got the short DANFS entry, which is what the article consists of (public domain copying). Silverstone's Warships of the Civil War Navies simply repackages the DANFS info into other words. This US gov't public domain source has Former USLHT Minot, now known as CSS Manassas, is placed under the command of Lieutenant William H. Murdaugh, CSN by Flag-Officer Samuel Barron, CSN. Though her final disposition is unknown, she is known to have seen service off North Carolina for the Confederates as Manassas into early 1862. While that source does solve DANFS' confusion about the lack of a revenue cutter named Minot by stating that she was a lighthouse tender, this CS service was either almost entirely undocumented or rather insignificant. Nothing in Trotter's Ironclads and Columbiads; nor in Barrett's Civil War in North Carolina. Aside from the two above, I can only find passing mentions to its seizure. Searching for this vessel as the lighthouse tender Minot also turns up no further in-depth coverage. The fact that I could turn up what I could for CSS Junaluska but almost nothing for this one reinforces my belief that there is simply not enough known about this vessel to indicate notability.

Redirect to List of ships of the Confederate States Navy. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of ships of the Confederate States Navy. The editor who created this is a sock, and was just blocked. The sock master account has also just been globally locked. I don't see any encyclopedia advantage in keeping this. — Maile (talk) 02:34, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also see: AFD White Cloud (steamship). Same blocked sock created both. — Maile (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The status of that editor is irrelevant here. - Davidships (talk) 14:40, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into CSS Manassas, unless more sources are found. The DANFS covers both ships in one entry, so we should probably do the same. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 02:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge content into CSS Manassas (with or without leaving a redirect); it is important that this vessel's existence is included to avoid confusion betweeen the two vessels. The content may yet garner some modest expansion - the late Tim Colton found a little data on Minot here (60ldt, built 1857 [for the United States Lighthouse Board] and sold in 1860). - Davidships (talk) 14:40, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the CSS Manassas article per Davidships. -- Euryalus (talk) 09:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
