Talk:Landing ship, infantry

"Ships" section... complete?

Hi, is the list of LCIs in the referred section complete? I guess not... can anyone please help?
Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 05:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Move

Since these aren't merely descriptive terms, but a designation (name), I propose this be moved (or moved back) to Landing Ship, Infantry. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 00:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I would support such a move. -- saberwyn 02:36, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Landing ship, infantry → Landing Ship, Infantry – Proper name for vessel, irrespective of Wikipedia naming conventions calling for lower case after first word of a title --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 03:29, 16 May 2015 (UTC) – Wikiuser100 (talk) 03:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

• @Wikiuser100:: "Landing ship, infantry" here is a type of ship, not a proper name for one ship. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
• Capitalising the article title would directly contravene Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), since "landing ship, infantry" is a common noun (dead give away - you can talk of "a landing ship, infantry" (common noun) but you cannot, except in the most contrived circumstances, talk of "a Coventry" (proper name)). We don't have article titles at "Aircraft Carrier" or "Amphibious Warfare Ship" for that very reason. This is the result of long consensus. Shem (talk) 20:28, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
