German submarine U-2506[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a U-Boat (one of hundreds) that never attacked or was attacked by an enemy ship. The only sources that write about it are comprehensive sources that write about *every* U-Boat, regardless of what the U-Boat actually did. That is not significant coverage, so this article fails the general notability guideline. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 21:50, 21 October 2015 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn. I know how military history editors think (as I'm one myself), so perhaps I should have anticipated this. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 14:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: The Uboat was instrumental in late war development of sonar equipment. There are plenty of sources available, although they won't show when looking for the WP-article title. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 05:08, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nomination is false from beginning to end. The boat in question was attacked. There are sources which cover the topic distinctively. And such considerations are irrelevant for the general notability guideline which specifically says that notability is not a matter of fame or importance. Andrew D.
