Talk:ETAP 26s

Article
I like the dedication of some Wikipedia authors to write a whole article with references and everything about a boat that never existed. There were plans to rename the Etap 24i to 26s. But it didn't happen. NetAction (talk) 09:41, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * The article has seven refs that show that the design exists, including the manufacturer's official website. I found another separate ref about the boat, which I will add and even found an ad for one for sale. To make a claim that it does not exist you will need to cite WP:RS that prove all those refs wrong. - Ahunt (talk) 12:40, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It is easy to prove all refs wrong including the new sale page. No boat has 26s written on the hull but their real types. All boats shown are often sold and well known. With a minimum of research it would be obvious that shipyard Etap didn't even exist in the years mentioned in the article. NetAction (talk) 15:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * The article now has eleven reliable sources that show that this boat type exists, including two marine brokerages who sell them and the manufacturer's website and with photos of the boat as well. Here on Wikipedia we don't accept unsourced personal opinions, especially when they contradict multiple reliable sources. As far as your statement it would be obvious that shipyard Etap didn't even exist in the years mentioned in the article goes, the ETAP Yachting article explains that ETAP was producing boats from the introduction of this model in 2005 until at least 2008 and that they were still being advertised in 2021, as the article notes. In fact the boat is still being advertised for sale by the company today. Unless you have any actual references to back up your claims, I think we can close this discussion. - Ahunt (talk) 16:48, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
