- To disentangle rather than to merge. Klbrain (talk) 02:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
This and Aggressive-class minesweeper seem to be covering same topic, though this article has better/larger list of ships and navbox. GraemeLeggett (talk) 15:55, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- No different engines, different class. Close, so I understand your logic. But would be too confusing, other ways to fix the problem.Telecine Guy (talk) 04:25, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Merge or disentangle. I believe through very cursory research that these are the same exact class, though perhaps separate as subclasses. In any case, the two pages right now claim a substantially overlapping number of ships, so we should attempt to clarify if one is a subclass of the other or if they are simply two names for the same class, and sort the ships within it accordingly, on the principle that each ship can only belong to one class of ships. I also think that we should try wherever possible to take the lead from sources--if different sources conflict (and I suspect they do), then that would be a good argument that there is confusion over the relation of the two classes and they should be merged to a single article IMO. - - mathmitch7 (talk/contribs) 12:46, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Definitely some issues. The lists of ships in each article have some overlaps but sources place them in one or the other, eg Bulwark (AMC-425) listed in both articles is "Aggressive [class]" according to Navy Historical Branch (DANFS) [1] but another listed in both is Fearless which is recorded as Agile-class[2].

- Improve, but don't merge. The key problem seems to be that some of the pages don't follow the sources, and hence that this should be fixed rather than embedding the confusion through the process of a merge. Klbrain (talk) 12:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
