It's also nice to have enough material to constitute a reasonable
article, in the absence of which it's probably the right time for a
merge and redirect.

Those three things also have names, which I think is a pretty useful

subject are much more likely to find it if we put it at [[Carnival
Cruise Lines]] than if we put it at [[Un-Named Carnival Ship]].
