Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monkeys in ships (2nd nomination)
I originally found the article title humorous, but upon further review I discovered there are multiple sources listed on the talk page, and Google Books reveals many more: http://books.google.com/books?&id=noGgW42SfJcC&oi=fnd&pg=PA1&dq=sailor+monkey '''Anecdotes of Monkeys''' by William Stewart Rose, http://books.google.com/books?id=C4kZAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA329&vq=sailor+monkey&dq=%22sailor+monkey%22 '''Singular Creatures, and how They Were Found''' by George Cupples, et al, http://books.google.com/books?id=vy8JCNGO-nsC&pg=PA20&lpg=PA14&ots=sl0_VDeg3Q&vq=monkey&dq=monkey+shipboard+pets '''Four Hundred Animal Stories''' by Robert Cochrane, http://books.google.com/books?id=RJsFAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA49&vq=monkey&dq=%22ship%27s+monkey%22 '''Anecdotes of a Life on the Ocean''' by David Cowans, et al, etc. This is an interesting slice of history which could definitely be improved to a respectable article (the fact that no one has yet done so, while |not probative, might have more to do with the current title&mdash;I'd recommend "Shipboard monkeys" or "Ship's monkey"). This article reflects the spirit of Wikipedia, and should be preserved (again) rather than deleted as "unencylopedic". &ndash;&nbsp
