Talk:Podporucznik

Merge to Podporuchik
Merge tag was added by User:AntonBryl on June 17, but they did not provide any rationale nor did they start a talk discussion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose . Merging different militaries bad idea. Creates confusion. Polish article has lots of detail for full article. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. I think the article can describe the usage of this term in Polish and Russian militaries. The only issue is which name is better, this can cause some annoyance to Polish/Russians who don't like to see the 'other' naming being dominant on en wiki... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please explain the advantage of having Polish and Russian militaries described in one page. Completely different subjects and obviously plenty of nontrivial info. There is a large article pl:Podporucznik. If you have nothing better to do then go and start merging Iosif with Jozef, Konstanty and Konstantin, Maciej and Matvey, Szczepan  and Stepan, etc., etc. Staszek Lem (talk) 05:01, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't see how the same rank in different Slavic countries is separately notable. The target article should not be seen as 'Russian' but as 'Slavic', and should describe the variations of this rank in various countries that use this term.

 * It is the "same" rank in name only. Each country has its own regulations (probably unified across NATO, though, but not all Slavic states are in NATO. Lembit Staan (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge; there is already more information on the Polish rank at Podporuchik than there is at Podporucznik. That page is also not exclusively Russian, but Slavophone. For an en-Wiki, having these similar ranks discussed collectively is helpful for reader in English. Klbrain (talk) 13:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This is a problem of lazy Engish wikipedia. pl:Podporucznik is twice as long as the whole multi-Slavic en:Podporuchik. Lembit Staan (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

If yoo look the the lede of Podporuchik, you'll see that the issue of equivalence is nos a simple as you think. This article is good as a summary, but details must be detailed in separate pages, otherwise there will be lots of confusion. Lembit Staan (talk) 20:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I am posting this at WT:MILHIST, It occurred to me may be they have some guidelines. Lembit Staan (talk) 20:05, 26 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Support merge; similar ranks with similar names, easy to have subsections differentiating between different nations. Just as has been done with Poruchik [ Lieutenant (Eastern Europe)], Polkovnik [ Colonel (Eastern Europe)] and Podpolkovnik [ Lieutenant colonel (Eastern Europe)]. Additionally, I don't believe that the Polish page meets the Notability requirements. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC); edited 10:07, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
