I edited out some absurd looking quotes around the words 'defense enterprise' regarding Northrop-Grumman. Cynical Scare Quotes are hardly an NPOV thing. Doesn't matter whether the topic is related. - Kade 06:33, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This article needs heavy revision. It seems to be heavily dependent on people with special interests supplying information about the country or yard with which they are most familiar. As a result, the section listing "Prominent Dockyards and Shipyards" is so far out of proportion as to be positively misleading. (For example, you would get the idea that the US is a prominent shipbuilding country and China is not.) The article on "Shipbuilding" is much more balanced. In the present article, the list section should be deleted with a link referring to the separate article "List of shipbuilders and shipyards". Mstarli (talk) 07:00, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Missing a few important yards

The South East Asia section completely ignores several important yards in Singapore which is a major shipbuilding nation as well.

Unsourced and evaluative descriptions in "South Asia and the Middle East"

The entries under South Asia and the Middle East are almost entirely uncited, and several use evaluative wording that would need a source to stand. FMC Dockyard is called "one of the largest shipyards in Bangladesh"; Western Marine Shipyard "a leading shipyard in Bangladesh"; Khulna Shipyard "the oldest shipyard in Bangladesh"; Ananda Shipyard and Shipways "one of the largest shipyards in Bangladesh"; and Pipavav Shipyard "the leading, modern and largest engineering facility". Superlatives of that kind need inline citations per WP:V, and read as puffery without them.

I am not going to edit the section myself, and I want to be transparent about why. I have a conflict of interest: I am an owner of Radiant Shipyard, a Bangladeshi shipyard, which makes every company named above a competitor. WP:COI advises editors not to edit articles concerning their competitors, and removing or rewriting entries about rival firms is not something I should be doing, whether or not the material is currently sourced. My disclosure is at User:Shahir80.

Raising it here so that uninvolved editors can decide whether to source, trim or tag the section. I have no preference as to the outcome, and to be clear I am not requesting that my own company be added to the list. Shahir80 (talk) 05:38, 31 August 2026 (UTC)
