Necessity of separate pages?

[edit]

Is this article and the Type 98 20 mm AA Half-Track article really necessary? Both of these vehicles could easily be put in the Type 1 Ho-Ki article under 'variants'. Semi-Lobster

Dunno - there's no reason not to link from there to this article. But wikipedia is not paper - there's no reason not to give something an article if there is sufficient information. Megapixie 01:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well there is precident in having vehicles like this going into one article. The Type 98 variants are all simply Type 1 Ho-Ki half-tracks with a piece of artillery mounted on them. The exact same thing as what the Germans did with their SdKfz 251 and all of their variants are one one page.Semi-Lobster

Need references to source information on this page

[edit]

Would appreciate references for this page. Because there is lots of confusion about this particular tank's existence, armaments, and structure. Was it ever deployed after March 1944? WinterSpw (talk) 18:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added what sources I could find and did some ce and re-write accordingly. Frankly, the Type 98 Ta-Se single gun version came out first and I don't know why this second prototype version was given a titled separate article. Both were only prototypes and never went into general production. With that said, they do deserve a separate page from the "half-track" version discussed above.
