  • Comment - is your soon-to-be completed FT going to interfere with this one? —Ed (talkmajestic titan) 15:57, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't see how there would be interference, class topics are different from that type of topic. The only issue there is whether or not to use subtopics since we have the class topics. Of course that is a discussion for when that topic is nominated, not now. -MBK004 22:26, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support (also I have removed the disambig year from Moltke since we don't need it in the topic display). -MBK004 22:26, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - when the class topic comes around, I'd advocate folding that one into this one. I would support this being featured in the meantime, but the class topic is incredibly close to getting here itself - its lead is at FLC, and if that is promoted then it is ready. So the time between this FTC closing and that one opening could be a matter of days. Hence I think it's worth establishing now whether this should be a subtopic of that one, or part of it, and if the latter is decided, it's not worth promoting this until the FLC finishes. As I said, I'd advocate combining the topics, as there are 13 articles involved, which is a perfectly reasonable number for a topic, and the unified presentation looks very neat. Better one of 13 than three of 8, 3 and 4 - rst20xx (talk) 14:59, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    ...and now it's been promoted, so the larger FT is complete - rst20xx (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    So shall we merge this into the larger one? Does this need to be archived or what? Parsecboy (talk) 13:13, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, what'll happen to Wikipedia:Featured topics/Derfflinger class battlecruisers? Will it be absorbed into the full one? Parsecboy (talk) 13:27, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the answers are yes and yes. This has happened once before by the way, when the Halo trilogy topic was merged into the Halo media topic. I'll archive this when I have the time, feel free to bring a new nomination - rst20xx (talk) 11:17, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close with no consensus to promote - in light of the above nomination, this one is now redundant - rst20xx (talk) 16:18, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
