The result of the move request was: Moved to American steamship ''General Lyon'' (1864). The consensus was forming around ''General Lyon'' (steam*, 1864), using either steamboat or steamship. However, as pointed out a) this was oceangoing (suggesting 'ship' should be used) and b) the title should abide by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships)#Ships from navies without ship prefixes.

General Lyon (steamboat)General Lyon (transport)USS General Lyon (1860) was also a steamboat, and I don't see how this can claim primary topic. Hog Farm Talk 04:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC) Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To your second point, see here; construction began in late 1863, with the agreement already in place that the Army would charter it upon launch (which happened in March 1864.) 162 etc. (talk) 20:45, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I would support General Lyon (steamship, 1864). Still no indication it ever used the SS prefix. And it was a sea-going ship rather than a riverboat. The title of the other one is fine. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If we leave out "SS" (which, after researching this a bit, seems like a good idea) we need to follow WP:NCS standard for ships without ship prefixes. In this case, American steamship General Lyon (1864). 162 etc. (talk) 15:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:NCS for the convention regarding these article titles, your suggestions are nonstandard. 162 etc. (talk) 15:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
