Talk:Soviet submarine K-222

Fair use rationale for Image:Papa class submarine.jpg

Image:Papa class submarine.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Requested move 2009

• The title of this article should be restored to Papa class submarine. I was not around at the time this change was made (see above), but the topic of this article is a class of submarine, reguardless of how many were constructed. If the activities of a particular submarine are of distinction than it warrants its own article, but this change in title now eliminates the article on the Papa class submarine, and leaves a hole in the index of Soviet submarine articles. Because only one was built it would be acceptable to link the title K-222 to this article, but the title Papa Class submarine is still the correct title in this situation. - Ken keisel (talk) 22:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Requested move Feb 2011

Soviet submarine K-222 → Papa class submarine — Ken keisel says "This is an article about a class of submarine of which there was only one example built, as such it requires a title of the class, with the name of the lone example described in the text. It would be acceptable to link the title "K-222" to an article titled "Papa class submarine", but the article title must reflect the overall class described, not just the name of one partiular member, regardless of weither it is the only one. Please see articles Charlie class submarine and India class submarine for examples."--ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 23:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Disagree. Unique boats in USN service aren't listed as "class" boats, but as individuals (Dolphin, Argonaut, Albacore, frex), which they are. Why should this be different? As for the class list, redirect Papa class here. And that she's the sole member of the class is mentioned in the lead. Where's the problem?

• Oppose the sole example is the submarine, therefore it should be an article about the submarine, not the theoretical class. The class might qualify for a separate article, but not at the expense of an article on the real thing. 64.229.101.183 (talk) 03:24, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
