Requested move 14 July 2020
edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Retracted (Not moved). Seeing that in general there is concensus not to move the page and no objection to adding rideshare missions I am retracting my move request and instead spend time to improve Wikipedia. OkayKenji (talk • contribs) 02:29, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Secondary payload → Rideshare (spaceflight) – With the rise of SpaceX's dedicated rideshare program and Arianespace [1] and others (Spaceflight Industries etc.) could we expand the scope of this article to include dedicated rideshare launches? The article says "secondary payload, also known as rideshare" so presumably if this is named "Rideshare (spaceflight)", we can still include much of the info we have already. I was thinking of creating Draft:SpaceX Smallsat Rideshare Program but if this page is moved we could have a section here about SpaceX's program instead of a dedicated article. Also I'm not sure about the exact name this page should be moved to, if another editor has a better name I'm open to suggestions. OkayKenji (talk • contribs) 22:38, 14 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- Oppose – "Secondary payload" is a commonly recognisable name, "rideshare" is not (see WP:COMMONNAME). I am okay to include SpaceX rideshare program (and other rideshare programmes) in this article. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 10:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment — independent of the outcome of the move proposal, there is nothing at all in the way of you (OkayKenji) improving the article by adding well-sourced explication of the other term, rideshare, that seems to now (also) be being used in the industry. So, yeah, go for it. And you don't need any consensus to begin to do that. N2e (talk) 03:44, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks for the suggestion! Will do soon. OkayKenji (talk • contribs) 04:02, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. I see no compelling reason to introduce a parenthetical disambiguator into the title. Rreagan007 (talk) 00:42, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
