Type 091 submarine → Tang-class submarine – Rename to NATO name, as is common with other submarine pages such as the Akula, Typhoon, and more. Following WP:TITLE for Consistency and Use commonly recognizable names. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:32, 10 July 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Seraphim System  ( talk ) 21:53, 18 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Proposed name is ambiguous and there's an article there already on the other class. Maybe relist and discuss options? Andrewa (talk) 11:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment : this should be a grouped request and discussion with Talk:Type 035 submarine and Talk:Type 039A submarine. 83.228.159.212 (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2018 (UTC).

 * Oppose. The target is occupied, so clearly this can't go through as proposed. Dekimasu よ! 22:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Discussion
and, 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)

See also WT:AT, 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)

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. Pinging and  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
Some sort of official source is required for the use of "Tang" as the reporting name. The 2020 US DoD report 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)

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