Ignoring a rule

[edit]

   AFAIK Dab standards do not provide for the long entry i created for the WWII-era vessel... except in the sense that

  1. anything shorter could invite (AFAWeK mistaken) beliefs that the SS Borussia user user seeks is not one that had been Borussia (until its renaming), but a vessel physically distinct from the 3 we know of, and
  2. we have a rule that says WP:IGNORE ALL RULES (when following one -- or, perhaps in this case, imagining that "everything that is not explicitly permitted is forbidden" is an implicit rule -- becomes disfunctional).

   (I don't recall ever before invoking IAR re a Dab page, but i think there's a rule about "everything ever done, was once done for the first time". Isn't there?)
