The penultimate Good Topic nomination for one of the Austro-Hungarian submarine classes. I believe that all of the requirements are fulfilled. Note: both of the individual submarines had more notable careers as German submarines than as Austro-Hungarian submarines, which is why both are redirects. — Bellhalla (talk) 20:45, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Minor inconsequential comment - I think it would be better to be honest with the piping and not have it redirect - rst20xx (talk) 00:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I also agree that they should be pipe links instead.--TRUCO 02:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's why the note; I wasn't sure how to handle. I've now changed to piped links (rather than the redirects). — Bellhalla (talk) 05:24, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - should this topic, the U-1 topic and the (currently being promoted) U-27 topic in fact have "(Austria-Hungary)" in their names, to disambiguate themselves from German classes? rst20xx (talk) 18:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry, I didn't see your question before. I could go either way, really. All of the German sub classes are named in WP as "German Type U nn submarine", so you could argue that there's not really a need for a disambiguation. On the other hand, many sources refer to German class as "U-nn class" mirroring the style in use for the A-H subs. The other factor for these topics, is that there's a big flag proclaiming the nationality of the subject. (Also, as an aside, the German U-1 was a unique submarine and not really a class, per se.) — Bellhalla (talk) 15:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Those are good points, but I noticed that you'd disambiguated some of the pages, eg U-43 class submarine, U-27 class submarine... to me that just about suggests the topics should be disambiguated too - rst20xx (talk) 21:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said, I could go either way. — Bellhalla (talk) 22:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close with consensus to promote - I will disambiguate, where appropriate - rst20xx (talk) 15:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
