No evidence of notability, a random rootsweb site and a museum which hosts a model of the ship but provides only extremely minimal information. Fram (talk) 08:44, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

:IF you can find a website and send a link here then I'll add it, otherwise it doesn't even make sense Woffio (talk) 23:24, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

: Sword Dance was a Dance-class minesweeper of the Royal Navy, which was employed in the North Russia intervention of the Russian Civil War - although this wasn't clear from the article when it was created or nominated. Physical details of the ship are covered in Dittmar & Colledge and Conway's (now added as references), while there is account of Sword Dance{{'}}s loss in Hepper's British Warship Losses. While the rootsweb site isn't a reliable source, it does reference two article in Naval Review magazine, which is although hidden behind a paywall, is a reliable source. This article can be expanded and may pass GNG.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:03, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

::Call me sentimental if you must, but in my estimation, navy vessels{{mdash}}like bugs and legislators{{mdash}}are always encyclopedic, no matter how obscure. jengod (talk) 15:43, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

::* Keep, per Nigel. Just as notable (or not) as hundreds of other ships articles Lyndaship (talk) 07:32, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

::Keep - looks like a pretty good article now Llammakey (talk) 12:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
