Type 091 submarineTang-class submarine – Rename to NATO name, as is common with other submarine pages such as the Akula, Typhoon, and more.

Skjoldbro and Vinegarymass911, exactly what are you proposing? No competent closer is going to simply delete the article on the American post-war class, currently at Tang-class submarine. One of the two articles would need to be disambiguated, and the precise names for both need to be decided before this RM could be actioned. Andrewa (talk) 22:25, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

See also WT:AT#Submarine classes and consistency, but this particular RM is the only one that raises the disambiguation issue, so that issue should be discussed here. Andrewa (talk) 22:59, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Note also that RMCDbot has posted a heads-up at the proposed target talk page, and also that there's a related discussion there at Talk:Tang-class submarine#Requested move 22 March 2016. Pinging BilCat and Llammakey who arrived at a strong consensus there and are currently active but not yet involved here (the third participant there has since been indeffed as a sock).

NATO reporting name

edit

Some sort of official source is required for the use of "Tang" as the reporting name. The 2020 US DoD report ([1]) consistently identifies the class as "Type 096 SSBN", whereas it uses "Jin" and "Type 094" interchangeably. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 03:46, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk · contribs) the Type 096 is listed as Tang in numerous news articles including this from Forbes [2] and Globalsecurity.org: [3] others too. Lankyant (talk) 04:39, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
