The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. After being relisted twice and ample time for discussion, I see no reason to prolong this. Two opinions don't necessarily suggest a majority, but it does show that there's no consensus to delete. (non-admin closure) Dusti ^{*Let's talk!*} 05:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Yes, they are all partial matches but I'm considering further down MOS:D#Examples of individual entries that should not be created and also WP:PTM. The encyclopedia is certainly often referred to with the single word "Britannica" but is this not done for any of the other entries? I expect MV Stena Britannica is often called simply "Britannica" so I think the ship could be included (note also the set index MS Stena Britannica). On the other hand I doubt whether Pax Britannica is ever referred to as "Britannica". On the whole I think the page may well reduce confusion rather than add to it and that is what the guidelines are seeking to achieve. Thincat (talk) 11:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Certainly worth keeping. A search for "Britannica" brings up the encyclopedia, a number of schools with the name Britannica (Budapest and Shanghai, Pax Britannica the phrase and the Pax Britannica series by Jan Morris. JT_dale^Talk~ 19:44, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
