Unreferenced article about a yacht that "has many unique features". I suspect an intent to promote, and can't see that notability is met. I originally declined an A7 as inappropriate, and prodded. Prod has been removed with no reason given and no change made. Peridon (talk) 12:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete unreferenced article with promotional tone. I can't find anything to suggest this yacht is notable, or distinguished from many others - it's not the biggest or most expensive, for instance, and doesn't seem to be associated with any notable incidents.

• Delete as I first said, nothing St all for any applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 15:20, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - OK, the article is unreference and promotional. Both of which are fixable. Sources should be available to do this, such as Superyachts, Charterworld, Moran Yachts etc. Was WP:BEFORE followed here, particularly section C1 & C3? Mjroots (talk) 16:53, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Moran link looks like a real bit of PR advert work, and the other two are sort of directory entries that merely establish existence. Feel free to fix it, but I couldn't find anything better than those, and don't consider they show notability. Peridon (talk) 17:50, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It is easy to find sources for this such as Super Yacht Times and, at worst, we should merge into the list of superyachts, of which this is a middling size. That's our editing policy. Andrew D. (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That link is to a pure list description of the Ace, which bears a remarkable similarity to a section of the article here. I don't know which came first, but either that is a copy of the article, or the article contains a copyvio. Peridon (talk) 17:20, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I completly changed the layout & content of the article and found references for it. It is now less commercial & sourced. 102Legobrick (talk) 09:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
