List of disappearing gun installations

Merely duplicates part of main article, mostly. Anmccaff (talk) 01:36, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep:  Having an inclusive list in Disappearing gun would be too long.  In fact it would be better to move most of the entries in the "Significant installations" section to the list.  Toddst1 (talk) 14:42, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Nahh, the important ones should be in the main article. This thing seems to have been intended as an inclusive list of DC installations; it would, if completed, have perhaps thousands of entries.  Anmccaff (talk) 17:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's clearly fine to split out a list of notable examples of the type, rather than requiring it to be in the main article about the type.  Note that wp:CLN applies:  if there is a category it is almost always okay or good to have a list (to provide references, to include redlinks, etc.). Note that Category:Disappearing guns exists and is a tad ambiguous, including mostly different gun models that could be mounted in disappearing fashion;  shouldn't there be Category:Disappearing gun installations (currently a redlink)?  Also, an "installation" at sea was aboard Russian battleship Ekaterina II, which I think is a valid entry so I added it to the list. -- do  ncr  am  01:26, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Toddst1 above: this is a viable topic for an article, and would work better as a separate article than as part of the main article given it's a fair size. Nick-D (talk) 08:03, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
