It's a wholly arbitrary standard to include Kirk/Spock on this template but not other ships. If Stucky and McHanzo are notable enough to have articles on Wikipedia (at least for the moment, in the case of McHanzo), they are notable enough to be included in this template.

Kirk/Spock is a topic which has been of note inside and outside of fandom for over half a century, giving rise to such terms as slash fiction; it is unique in that regard, truly sui generis. The others, by comparison, are minor and may not even qualify for notability (I reserve judgement). Their inclusion is blatant recentism. --Orange Mike | Talk04:17, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Orangemike: I'm biased as the author of the article, but while it is clearly not as formative as Kirk/Spock, the article on Stucky establishes it as a phenomenon that has existed in fandom for close to a decade. Per WP:NAV, the purpose of a nav template is to facilitate navigation between articles on a shared topic. It is not to cast judgement on the relative relevance or irrelevance of those articles themselves; none of the titles listed under "Published works" in this template are as notable as the Fifty Shades trilogy, but are listed because they provide context and examples of the subject material. And while the WP:NAV guidance comes with the caveat that a template should not "cram as many related articles as possible into one space," I think it is reasonable to imagine that a reader using this template would be interested in seeing ships that have their own dedicated Wikipedia page.
