:({{Find sources AFD|title=Race Cutty Sark and Thermopylae}})

The natural home for this article content is in either of the articles Cutty Sark and Thermopylae (clipper), both of which already cover the race (WP:REDUNDANTFORK). The creator of the article advises that this is a translation from Russian Wikipedia. The majority of sources in the subject are written in English. The two levels of translation required may explain some strange or questionable article content. The quality of writing in English is poor. (Information: see the similar AfD for Tea race (competitions). This discussion originated at WT:WikiProject_Ships#Two_poor_quality_articles)

• keep per below, seems to meet GNG. redirect to Cutty Sark, the longer of the two articles, as an ATD. —siroχo
• Keep and rename Great Tea Race of 1872. (See also Great Tea Race of 1866.) This is a very famous race.[https://www.thenational.scot/news/17817626.back-day-scotlands-role-great-tea-race/][https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/AAGM/museum-home/blogs/last-great-clipper-race-remembered][https://hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/whats-on/blogs/the-1872-tea-race][https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/past-times/5738209/aberdeen-built-clipper-thrashed-rival-cutty-sark-in-the-great-tea-race-of-1872/] Just needs some cleanup.

• Keep Agree that it should be renamed per Clarityfiend. This is a clear GNG pass though. Disagree it is a redundant fork. Again, per Clarityfiend, the race is well known. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
