German submarine U-2321 and 62 others

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Looking at the impressive List of German Type XXIII submarines, each of these 63 submarines has its own page. And while the content on each page is perfectly fine and looks well-written, the pages appear mostly identical. Only a few specific details differ between the pages, with perhaps a few containing a little more detail in the service history. Pretty much all this content is already there over at the list page. Perhaps we should have separate pages just for those submarines which were especially noteworthy, i.e. satisfy WP:GNG Chumpih. (talk) 17:37, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. Aren't ships automatically notable? Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:10, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There's WP:SHIPS but a quick look there didn't reveal any particular notability policy, so presumably WP:NOTE applies. From past discussions, large ships are almost certainly notable.  However these were small, fast craft, with a crew of about 20.  Chumpih. (talk) 21:12, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep: You cannot possibly nominate 63 articles and then say "keep the notable ones". The articles have to be nominated in much much smaller batches so that we can figure out which ones are the notable ones. WP:TRAINWRECK. Curbon7 (talk) 21:46, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a very fair point. I've closed this as Quick keep accordingly.  Chumpih. (talk) 22:05, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
