Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ships of the Hanseatic League
I did a Google book search for the Hanseatic Leaguehttp://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks%3A1&tbo=1&q=%22Hanseatic+League%22+-inpublisher%3Aicon&btnG=Search+Books.  Not sure how many ships were in it, if they are listed anywhere, and how many would be notable enough to have their own articles.  Were the two listed the only famous or important ones?  Should be more.  Anyway, it is quite is quite encyclopedic.  You want to know about a historical group, then having a list of all the ships that were part of it, would aid you in understanding that.  At least two of those ships are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles.  And you can't make it into a category, since any category with only two entries would be deleted very quickly.  It hurts nothing by remaining here, Wikipedia not paper  so not going to run out of any space, and it can aid those interested in the subject to have a greater understanding of things.  This league was far more famous in another nation, probably taught to all the school children there, so perhaps an article in their language's Wikipedia will show more results.  I'll check on that
