Proposed merge (2014)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

I propose that aeroscraft be merged into this article, since the term is one seemingly coined by this company for some of their designs.TheLongTone (talk) 12:42, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

• Merge. There is not enough notable subject matter to sustain separate articles, this is just another wannabee airship company with all plans and no product. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 14:20, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

They seem to have a product: it seems they have done some tether trials but there seems to have been a setback caused by their shed collapsing on the thing (!).TheLongTone (talk) 14:24, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

and they do seem to have sold a fair number of advertising "blimps" and the Pentagon gave them $3 million to do preliminary design work. [1]

All the more reason to merge, then. They have a good few products, some are production models, and much of their technology applies across more than one product. "Aeroscraft" is just a trade name for their rigids and to date a half-scale prototype has been made - not really enough for its own article. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

That was the reason for the merge proposal- it's their name for their breed of airship rather than being a generic term.TheLongTone (talk) 17:10, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

• Support merge - not familiar with the project criteria of WP Aviation, but from a general notability standpoint seems to belong inside the company article, see also Talk:Igor pasternak. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:37, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

We have a 3:0 majority here for the merge. Not a huge turnout, but I think enough to take this forward. Do we need to merge histories and complicated stuff? I don't know how to do that. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:30, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

If you know what you want to merge, the process is here Wikipedia:MERGETEXT. All the steps are laid out with the appropriate edit summaries and content for talk pages ready to copy and use. I have done it at least once, and I don't remember it being onerous. GraemeLeggett (talk) 10:48, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Agree, there have been no howls of protest. I was giving the link to the help page but GraemeLeggett got there first!TheLongTone (talk) 10:53, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Done. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:51, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Dream

Came across the rather short article for Dragon Dream, the prototype constructed under Project Penguin. As this is a functional aircraft, I kind of assume it is OK to have its own article. But at present the article is so short it could easily be merged in here. Are we happy to leave it where it is? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:02, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
