Merge Proposal

edit

List of U-boat aces covers a similar topic and should be merged into this article. MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The term ace is somewhat undefined in context of U boat commanders. In aerial warfare 5 victories make a pilot an ace. How is this defined in naval warfare? 5 ships sunk? 50.000 tons of shipping destroyed? MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
The term "U-boat ace" is defined by sinking 100.000 tons (see "We captured a U-boat" by David V. Gallery, etc). 76.66.196.218 (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
I see benefit in both articles, and would support a merge - certainly not a simple delete of any of the two! Ingolfson (talk) 10:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment the list was renamed from "Aces of the Deep" to "List of U-boat aces" in Jan 2008, which is why it doesn't make sense. IT was improperly renamed and then improperly updated so that the lead section became heavily biased and terribly wrong. 76.66.196.218 (talk) 15:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Move proposal

edit

Since this page doesn't list every U-boat skipper who sank a ship, just the top-scorers, "successful" is a bit deceptive. I suggest moving to "most successful". TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 16:53, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Absent protest to the contrary, I'm going to move. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 15:19, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Conducting the split

Hi, would Vami IV or Clarityfiend or other users who participated in the AfD be interested in carrying out the rename/split? Eddie891 Talk Work 14:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Eddie891: Yes, but at the moment I'm occupied. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 21:06, 18 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Eddie891: I'll do it. It was my suggestion, after all. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:30, 18 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
