Minor boat that appears in one movie DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 19:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Merge I think this fails the "significant coverage" part of WP:N. However, the information would be good to include in the main Jaws (film) article. --BlindEagle^{talk~contribs} 19:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Move to Jaws (film) Elmao 19:09, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge per above---Victor falk 19:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Jaws (film) - Some of the less relevant info should be cut, and what's left get merged. -WarthogDemon 19:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to new article on the production of the first film, splitting off and merging in the coverage from the main film article. There is definitely information here worth preserving and the film article is already 41 KB long. Creating a new article called something like Jaws (film) production as a sub-article of the main featured article would be appropriate. Otto4711 20:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, as this boat figures into much of a major movie and novel and if I recall makes an appearance underwater in a sequel. Plus, there's even toy versions of it. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 23:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
• Merge sourced portions to Jaws (film). Too many irrelevant details. (I'm shocked we have an article on the boat and no article on the shark, "Bruce", which was one of the most advanced animatronic props of its day.) --Dhartung | Talk 00:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I think your suggestion about having an article on Bruce is a good one. I would be willing to help find sources for an article if you'd like to start one. Just let me know if you would like help! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 00:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

• A production article that includes info on Bruce along with what's here and what's already in the main article has a lot of potential. Otto4711 13:08, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
