Does not meet WP:GNG. Lack in-depth coverage in RS. There is nothing remarkable stated in the article that would suggest notability and the sources are all minor mentions. MB 01:04, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There is significant coverage in the book Murray Darling Paddleboats, which is cited in the article. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 09:54, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We typically require at least two independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage. I'm only seeing/finding one available at this time. If not retained, consider merging to Murray River § River transport as per WP:ATD-M. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:26, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep (or merge) -- The article has three newspaper sources, which may well be the sources for the book (I do not know). However, I would like to hear more of the vessel's history: was its grounding fatal to it? Unlikely. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:30, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The three newspapers sources are trivial happenings, not in-depth coverage:
- "The Bishop, Right Rev. Dr. Harmer, arrived here on Saturday in the mission launch Etona, and on Sunday he held services in the Mission Hall, being assisted by the Rev. H. H. Wylie (the Incumbent) and the Rev. Mr. Bussell" - minor mention
- "owing to the steamer Etona grounding on a sandbank, and remaining there for six or seven hours." - minor mention
- "During the year the boiler of the launch Etona gave way entirely, and has been replaced by a new one at a cost of £87" (with a little more talk of the funding).
The article even incorrectly states that "services on board" - the newspaper says in "Mission Hall" which I do not believe would be a room on the ship. MB 17:52, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per North America as ATD. I looked at this at NPP and couldn’t see how it was notable. Mccapra (talk) 08:00, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per North America. I suspect there are more sources (offline) available for this, but merging will protect the existing content rather than outright deletion. Deus et lex (talk) 04:21, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
