Arbitrary and capricious list with no verifiability of its assertions ("Core Collection"? Sez who?) Orange Mike | Talk 01:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep - Says the National Historic Ships Committee apparently. The 'Core' collection database is [http://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/ships_register.php?action=search&nhfcc=1 here] and runs for four more pages thereafter. This verifies the information in the list article, and does appear to be the result of a notable body qualified to advise on such matters (a 'non-departmental public body reporting to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport with a specific remit to advise the Secretary of State and other public bodies on ship preservation and funding priorities.') from [http://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/pages/about-us.html here]. This appears to be the British maritime equivalent of English Heritage's directory of Listed buildings, or the American equivalent, the National Register of Historic Places, and I would suggest is therefore both notable, verifiable, and encyclopaedic.

• Keep - A useful and notable list of many of Britain's most prominent heritage ships, already linking to 30 other Wikipedia articles on specific heritage ships which provide any amount of verification. --Geronimo20 (talk) 02:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

• Withdrawn - if somebody will insert somewhere into the article the source of the "Core Collection" assertion, which appears from the current text to be somebody's private picks as "core". --Orange Mike | Talk 16:08, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
