Bayern class battleships[edit]

This is last class of German dreadnoughts built during World War I. The last two ships were not completed and didn't do anything important (unlike Tosa, for example) and so articles are not warranted. Parsecboy (talk) 10:51, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - looks good (though we don't list the ships without articles) - rst20xx (talk) 21:25, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yeah, I wasn't sure; didn't want to appear to be cherry-picking articles or anything. Parsecboy (talk) 21:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • What do you think of The Bushranger's idea below? Parsecboy (talk) 23:20, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support -are those articles redirects to the class article? If so, maybe they could be mentioned using something like File:Symbol redirect vote.svg like the M-28 FT candiate uses. - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 23:15, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, they're redirects to the class article. Parsecboy (talk) 23:20, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    As stated in that nom, "The redirect in the topic box is only intended for nomination purposes." It's not going to be there come the actual thing. Actually I'm going to remove it, it's causing confusion - rst20xx (talk) 00:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm, I'd include them, if only to ensure it is complete. (maybe link them to Bayern class battleship#Construction or just as text, with no symbols or with the .svg image linked above?) —Ed (talkmajestic titan) 05:44, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • My question is whether or not those that are redirects can feasibly be turned into articles. Is that possible or is there not sufficient information? Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:13, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, it's simply not possible. There's construction information, and that's it. They weren't used for any experiments as Tosa was. Parsecboy (talk) 12:39, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Alright. In that case there isn't really a debate on the redirects; they shouldn't be included on the topic list, which they aren't. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:44, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
