The result was Deleted as a coypyvio - on checking the source given, I found the article to be virtually copied and pasted from the source. Therefore I made an executive decision and nuked it, without prejudice to a new article being created that can meet WP:GNG via WP:V by WP:RS. Mjroots (talk) 04:06, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

This appears to be a hoax, a forum creation, or so obscure that it does not meet GNG. There are no hits in Gbooks and only wiki mirrors, apart from the only source, a DeviantArt post. Either way, the article ought to be deleted. Parsecboy (talk) 20:12, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as hoax. Why would anybody submit a ship design to a Police General like Daleuge?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:37, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

 * I though this was definitely a hoax until I saw this. Now I am just confused. The lack of secondary sources certainly says delete at this point, but primary sources may exist and there may be something to the story, unplausible as it sounds (why would Dräger work on things that are not related to gases/breathing?) —Kusma (t·c) 21:02, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * See here, p. 40, Folder 324 (US National Archives) for another mention. So if it is a hoax, it is pre-1960s and has made it into various archives. —Kusma (t·c) 21:14, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding those - so that rules out the hoax/forum creation possibility, but it's still too obscure (and I say this as somebody who writes articles on obscure German warships) to warrant an article. Parsecboy (talk) 22:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. It may be an interesting story to write about for a military history journal, but it is not fit for Wikipedia. —Kusma (t·c) 10:14, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails GNG. Assuming this was not a hoax - this was a paper design that simply went no where. This was a private proposal of an oddly specified ship (possibly inspired by the Merchant aircraft carrier? Which actually did serve a military purpose) with no real conceivable use in the German navy at a phase in the war where the German surface navy was irrelevant.Icewhiz (talk) 08:03, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
