In the AFD respondents said practically nothing was known about the Vesta, other than that she sank the SS Arctic, even though she displaced just 250 tons, barely more than 1/12 the displacement of the Arctic. The closing adminstrator decided to redirect to SS Arctic. I learned something else Charles Ellet, the engineer who introduced naval rams into the US arsenal was inspired by the Vesta's sinking of the much larger Arctic. Yes, it is hardly much more information. But I think, nevertheless, it would be a good idea to promote SS Vesta from being a redirect to being a stub. For biographies we don't normally retain a BLP when the individual is only known for "one event". I think we should refine this principle, from "one event", to "one topic". In this instance the single event, the sinking, is related to three topics. It is of course related to the topic of the sinking of the SS Arctic. It is related to the topic of Charles Ellet Jr., the inventor inspired by the sinking to re-introduce naval ramming. And, we could have an article The use of naval rams during the American Civil War. In my opinion, Charles Ellet Jr. should link to SS Vesta, or Sinking of the SS Arctic by the SS Vesta. So too should The use of naval rams during the American Civil War. The status quo -- where SS Vesta is a redirection to SS Arctic#sinking -- is unsatisfactory. A good faith editor of SS Arctic could remove as off-topic information relevant to a reader who came to the article from the article on Charles Ellet Jr. or The use of naval rams during the American Civil War. FWIW I added a paragraph about how the Vesta inspired Ellet to the article on Ellet. Geo Swan (talk) 18:39, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I think the PROD discussion didn't reach a very clear consensus to Delete the article. I think it can be relisted with reference to WP:POTENTIAL , WP:DEADLINE and may be others of which I'm not aware of yet. VIVEK RAI : Friend? 17:20, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
