A ship?

The ship Nestor sails is in both appearance and Ikaros-sight indistinguishable from other elite Persian triremes. Given this, it's arguable whether or not 'Formidable' is merely an epithet of Nestor, not in fact a ship at all, same as 'the Broker' is for Sophos, or 'the All-Seeing' is for Augos, and so on and so forth. Nestor's in-game bio certainly doesn't suggest that it's anything but an epithet. Sadelyrate (siniath) 09:35, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

Ship names pop up when you look at them via Ikaros though. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 10:54, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

Like I said, the ship Nestor's on is indistinguishable. Its name is just as random as any other ship's. Even when viewed as Ikaros.Sadelyrate (siniath) 10:58, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

Do any of the clues mention anything? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 13:14, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

Just read them, and nothing there about a ship named Formidable, either. Sadelyrate (siniath) 13:49, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

Weird. I mean there’s the sails and the figurehead but the "of the formidable" could just be referencing Nestor rather than the ship as assumed. I guess put a deletion proposal on here or at least a name change. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 14:47, June 17, 2020 (UTC)

You guys put up the wrong delete template. The {{delete}}is only for articles which indisputably should be deleted right away, like spam, vandalism, misspelled pages, or duplicate pages. If you guys wish to propose that an article be deleted, you should be putting up {{propose delete}} in the article when opening up the discussion to indicate that you are opening such a discussion, not after a couple of people have agreed with you.

Anyway, I kind of wish to inspect this matter myself, but I don't really have the means to do so at the moment. Usually if there is no objection after two weeks, it is within the rights of the person who proposed deletion to go through with it, but I wanted to verify with you guys.
