List of Royal Navy equipment

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an orphaned list - it mostly points to other lists. Don't believe there is a need for this as the equipment is well listed at List of active Royal Navy ships and List of aircraft of the Royal Naval Air Service Gbawden (talk) 14:07, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: as stated on the talk page, this list was created as decided at Categories for discussion/Log/2013 March 26. The missiles, control systems and other items are not included in the lists above. As for being orphaned, this is not a criterion for deletion of a list. It is categorised within Category:Lists of military equipment but feel free to add navigation links to it in other Royal Navy articles. –– Fayenatic  L ondon 15:36, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - being orphaned is not a reason for deletion, merely an opportunity to build more links. Historical equipment is as WP:Notable, if with reliable sources, as active equipment. When the equipment goes out of service, it should be listed at this or other historical articles. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:39, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting comment: I originally closed this but reopened as feel this does merit a discussion.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  01:29, 22 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep: being orphaned is not a reason for deletion, the list is notable, and although they overlap the list is not a duplicate of either of the other lists mentioned.AioftheStorm (talk) 01:43, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Fully suitable topic for a list article. The coverage of topics covered should not be limited to the current situation. Thincat (talk) 13:00, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep:The list of missiles and other equipment is significant. There is plenty of room for further expansion. Jacona (talk) 12:29, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
