The following is an archived discussion of the proposed merge of the articles below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the articles' talk pages). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was don't merge. Although there seems to be a little bit of talk page support for this merge, with the discovery of another article List of German Imperial Navy ships, it seems to me that due to length constraints, these articles should be kept divided by time periods. --NickPenguin_(contribs) 13:56, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

List of German Navy ships

These two articles don't necessarily duplicate content so much as they duplicate topic. Although Germany was not unified between the end of WW2 and the fall of the Berlin wall, it is up for debate as to whether it makes sense to have distinctive articles for navy vessels from these two different time periods. --NickPenguin_(contribs) 04:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
