editI dont believe that the aircraft is any more notable than the thousand of others lost in the second world war, being last is not really encyclopedic but I have asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft#Black Cat (bomber) for further opinions. MilborneOne (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- This is just a variation of WP:UNENCYC. If there are reliable, third-party sources, it is by definition notable. The original editor supplied a book and a Washington Post article about the subject. Those are RS. Accordingly, I removed the prod. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:47, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry dont do alphabet soup I was just giving my opinion that I believed the subject was not notable for a stand-alone article, it doesnt appear to be notable enough to be mentioned in the B-24 article. I will wait for other opinions at project before I consider an AfD, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Article title
editThere is some confusion on how articles on individual aircraft shouldbe named, as this issuse isn't specifically addressed by the WP:AIR/NC naming conventions. I moved the article from Black Cat (bomber) to Black Cat (aircraft) per my understanding of WP:NCDAB:
- "Parenthetical disambiguation. A disambiguating word or phrase can be added in parentheses. The word or phrase in parentheses should be: the generic class (avoiding proper nouns, as much as possible) that includes the topic, as in Mercury (element), Seal (emblem)"
In this case, "aircraft" is the generic class, as I understand it, and "B-24" would be the proper noun to be avoided. - BilCat (talk) 00:46, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
