Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Project Orion (lunar program)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was DELETE. Although the Delete comments did not greatly outnumber the Merge comments, no less than three different articles were suggested as the merge target. Project Orion (lunar program) (and the other two articles) appear to cover this well without needing the small amount of information in this article grafted onto them.

[edit] Project Orion (lunar program)

Name and information is incorrect. Orion is the official name now of the Crew Exploration Vehicle[1], not of the entire program. The program is called "Project Constellation". StuffOfInterest 11:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete As nominated. StuffOfInterest 11:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete JACooks 12:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and revise. The information in the article is sourced; some of it's just out of date (so put a "current events" template on the article, and update it accordingly). We have articles for every single Space Shuttle, so an article about the Orion vehicle itself is certainly warranted. --Christopher Thomas 14:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: We do have an article for the vehicle, Crew Exploration Vehicle, which will be renamed to "Orion (something or other)" at some point. --StuffOfInterest 14:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Changed to Merge with Orion (spacecraft), now that the renaming has occurred. --Christopher Thomas 03:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge with the article Crew exploration vehicle which needs to be renamed to include the name Orion. If an article on Orion is deleted, another will have to be created. Think of this as a stub. This is as valid an article as the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury projects. If the title needs fixing, then edit boldly. Countless billions of tax dollars will be spent on getting heroic spacemen to the moon in the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle to distract us from problems here on earth and to enhance our national prestige. The new project is expected to take 14 years with 21st century technology, so they can walk around and pick up rocks. Compare this to the Apollo project which took 8 years with 1960's technology.

• Delete --OfficialUser 19:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC) It isn't called Project Orion, it is called Project Constellation, and the Orion CEV. You can incorperate some of this information into the current Crew Exploration Vehicle page, but it is wrong to call it project orion, and the CEV page is already quite well done.

• Delete Project Orion is an incorrect name per nom. Rillian 02:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge Constellation is not a Project, it is a Program. Project Orion, like Project Ares falls under the Constellation Program. Orion is both the CEV and Project name, ref: Orion Project Manager Skip Hatfield. Like Apollo, when crews launch they will be aboard Orion Command Modules fly Orion missions, not Constellation vehicles or flights. Collectspace 18:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

This is Collectspace (talk • contribs)'s fourth edit. --Christopher Thomas 23:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with either one of these two articles: Project Constellation and/or Orion (spacecraft). Bigtop 21:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: this article is most likely the result of an unfortunate combination of the terms Project Constellation and Crew Module Orion at the time of gossip about this. Even if this information turns out to be correct later, it is unreferenced speculation for now. Nick Mks 20:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: I can't see anything in Project Orion (lunar program) that isn't already in Orion (spacecraft). Since it's incorrectly named, and by far the lesser of the two articles, just get rid of this one. --Mnemeson 11:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
