Maiden Voyage

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Maiden Voyage is just a dictionary term used to define the first trip of a vessel or aircraft (this is already stated in the disambiguation page for this word). There is absolutely nothing encyclopedic about this term and as a result, the article has barely expanded since its creation more than seven years ago. No evidence that any traditions or superstitions associated with maiden voyages exists and the last two paragraphs of the article just duplicates information from the template that already exists in all of the ship articles included in the navigation box The Legendary Ranger (talk) 13:03, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Repurpose and merge template to article as List of ships lost on their maiden voyage. The template has a lot of red links and even has footnotes. An article will do the job much better than a template. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but repurpose as article along the lines suggested by Peterkingiron. I don't think a rename is necessary - the article can remain at Maiden voyage, but the information in the template can be incorporated into the article, at which point it should have enough substantial content to satisfy the nominator. I don't think anyone can argue that 'maiden voyage' isn't a notable concept, we just need to expand the article a bit. Robofish (talk) 20:12, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Repurpose along lines suggested by Peterkingiron. Similar lists exist for airplane crashes and disasters. I would suggest a re-name. Erz_Alexander 18:49, 28 April 2012.
