The contents of USS Yale (1888) was merged into SS City of Paris (1888) on 11 August 2018. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

How was City of Paris able to generate 1500 more HP?

If City of New York and City of Paris had the same engines, why was Paris able to generate an additional 1500 HP? --Badger151 (talk) 20:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

USS Yale

This article should be combined with that on the USS Yale (1888). A redirect would be enough to direct anyone looking for the USS Yale to this article. Acad Ronin (talk) 14:31, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I added the merge-proposal template to both pages, and created a new section below to discuss it. TypoBoy (talk) 22:28, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merging this ship's two pages

USS Yale (1888) and SS City of Paris (1888) each have Wikipedia articles, despite the fact that they're the same ship. Each article tells the ship's whole history, with some parts covered better in one and some in the other. This is silly. The ship should have one article. Its alternate names can be redirects.TypoBoy (talk) 22:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge Separate articles are called for when the combined content would make a single article unwieldy. This is not the case here. It's the same ship, and neither article is very long. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:30, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I prefer to see a vessel's whole history combined when that is reasonable, as it is in this case. Acad Ronin (talk) 23:32, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 09:20, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of this page and the 1865 page

There are two pages that describe this ship and seem to overlap. This one and the one here: SS City of Paris (1865). I can't see why they would need to be kept separate but I leave that to you. Vkbaker (talk) 01:01, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Vkbaker: The two articles are about two different ships. This article is about a ship launched in 1888 and scrapped in 1923. SS City of Paris (1865) is about a ship launched in 1865 and sunk in 1885. DuncanHill (talk) 01:08, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
