MSC Armonia

[edit]

This is a cruise ship, and... well, that's about it. It's a cruise ship. No indication that it has played a significant role in the history of cruise shipping, no indication that something newsworthy happened to or on this ship. All we know about this ship is that it exists. But there is not a single indication, after more than three years, that this ship is notable or encyclopedic.

Keep: Cruise ship yes, but it appears to be notable. - Rjd0060 01:14, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notability is not the same thing as "importance" -- a somewhat ridiculous form of instruction creep. But in fact this ship was used as a secure location to house leaders during the 27th G8 summit in Genoa, Italy.[1] --Dhartung | Talk 01:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is obviously a fairly notable ship, due to its involvement in the 27th G8 summit, and returns a plethora of hits, when entered into google.Eastonlee 03:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per above. Shoessss | Chat 03:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Before the G8 summit, I probably would have agreed wholeheartedly with nom. But now it seems to clearly pass notability guidelines. Additional citations should be very easy to find via Google. Kensuke Aida 04:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All Navy ships are obviouisly notable and I would hold that most commercial ones are too, but then I'm English so maybe I have salt water in my blood. This one played a well publicised role in the summit as mentioned above so there's no question about its inclusion. It should be remembered that these modern cruise liners are absolutely huge, this one is 58,600 tons and is 824 feet long. It's as big, and almost as long, as RMS Titanic for example, and with a full passenger list there's nearly three thousand people on board. It dominates any environment it's in, in short it's not a back river rowing boat and clearly deserves an article. Nick mallory 06:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article clearly establishes notability for mine especially its role in the G8 summit. Capitalistroadster 06:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
