No consensus to move. A merge seems to be the direction here, maybe followed by a uncontested rename. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:07, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of battleships of the Royal Swedish Navy → List of ships of the line of the Royal Swedish Navy — What they actually were. Srnec (talk) 01:08, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Might it not be called List of capital ships of the Royal Swedish Navy ? 76.65.128.198 (talk) 05:29, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose -- The effect will be to overwrite a complete (but less well formatted) article with an incomplete one. The ships of the line article has much fuller information, but is not formatted as a table, which looks better. The best answer is to Close RM and Merge. After merger one article should be converted to a redirect to the other. Which this should be will depend on the precedents for similar lists for otehr nations.

  I didn't even notice that the other article existed. The situation is patently ridiculous, but I also support a merge, if it's possible and a mere redirect otherwise. Srnec (talk) 05:23, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  As indicated at Talk: List of ships of the line of the Royal Swedish Navy , that name is also not quite correct, since it includes ships that predate using lines of battle. (which is why I suggest a new article with a new edit history be called List of capital ships of the Royal Swedish Navy as a result of a merger. ) 76.65.128.198 (talk) 05:57, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that "capital ships" is not a contemporary term either. My main view of the name was based on the WP precedent for cognate articles on other countries. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:39, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
