Concept picture by artists

There are nice concepts done by various artists circulating on the internet. I have limited experience uploading files to wiki commons. If someone could add one it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Markg002 (talk) 06:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Premature

From looking at the sources, this is sourced primarily to a leak of a purported request for proposals (RFP) for the Chinese Navy. This means the actual proposal may be a fake or a hoax. We just don't know at this point, as all the reliable sources have is speculation. I'm considering an AFD, but since the article.was created by a relatively new user, I'm posting here first in case I'm totally wrong, and to avoid by biting. @Nick-D: Any thoughts?

Hi Bill, it looks like this is at least a serious proposal which has been treated seriously in major sources. The South China Morning Post (still a RS, I think...) has an article on it here for instance. Nick-D (talk) 10:50, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. That's what I was unclear on, and why I asked first and pinged you. BilCat (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
