The following discussion is an archived discussion of the merge. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Both articles are stubs, and could use expansion, so this is a start. The pics gallery is not needed, as these pics are on the 747 Commons page. City of Everett not notable enough for own page, and is only linked to this page and Boeing 747. - BillCJ17:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support - If there was enough material for a real article on this historic aircraft, I'd say leave it, but it doesn't seem to really justify it at this point. Akradecki20:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

City of Everett should not redirect here; instead, it should be an article about a whaleback steam ship which was America's first in the Suez Canal, and to circumnavigate Earth. I can't see that the 'first flightworthy Boeing 747' is quite as significant. BTW, the article states the airplane was named after the city, but I suggest it is more likely she was named after the ship. Eaglizard21:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
The issue is currently moot, as there doesn't appear to be an article on the City of Everett ship. However, should one be created, with proper verifiable sources, City of Everett (ship) should be a suitable name. I'm sure Boeing or the Museum of Flight would be happy to provide sources on what the first 747 was named after, should we need them. - BillCJ23:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
(copy of what I posted on Eaglizard's talk page) Regarding your comments about the redirect...if you're willing to write an article about the ship, you are welcome to write it. The name of the article would properly be, though, "SS City of Everett" with the possible addition of the year of launch in parenteses. If this is written, the redirect page can become a dab page. Please note, though, that it is somewhat bad form to come out and say, in an irritated sort of way, that there "should be an article" and expect someone else to write it. Don't complain about the output of a volunteer project if you're not willing to pitch in and volunteer yourself. The 747 was built in Everett, which is why it was named that, the plane had no connection to the ship. As for "significance", the first 747, a kind of airplane which launched major changes in air travel and became iconic, is quite a bit more significant than a steamship from the distant past, which few have ever heard of.

well, City of Everett has become a redirect... but a dab might still be in order here... I've added a dab to SS City of Everett, and proposed one for Everett, Washington. I'd suggest something similar to this:
It is a bit confusing. The museum's website http://www.museumofflight.org/visit does list it as being in Seattle while sites such as [1] list it as being in Tukwila. However, Google Maps [2] shows the museum to be along East Marginal Way, next to Duwamish slip # 6 (see [3]). As one can see from sites [4] and [5] (pages 2, 9), this area is within the Tukwila city limits. — Myasuda (talk) 23:29, 25 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yeah. About that. On this page it says that it is a Lockheed A-12, but on a shirt I saw FROM the museum it says SR-71 Blackbird. Should I edit the page to be accurate? -24.18.20.248(talk)

I'm wondering why the museum of flight's page has 50% content that points to other organizations. Especially since the museum doesn't have a notable collection of flying aircraft. :) New page for "notable collections of historic flying aircraft" perhaps?
