Talk:Falcon 9 flight 23

Article or Redirect?

Hi there. I see a bit of a dispute has arisen (see Article page history) where editors do not agree on whether this should be (or could be by wikipolicy) a separate article.

My own view: it's a complex question, which I just addressed over on the CRS-8 Talk page.

However, by wikipolicy, once an article has been created, and it fails to meet any criteria for speedy deletions at WP:SPEEDY, then I suspect the most correct process for the discussion is to take it to WP:AfD, and not merely revert it to a redirect.

I am not (personally) reverting the most recent editor's movement of this article back to a redir, but I suspect that action was not correct per policy. I may do so in the future; simply to allow a proper AfD process to play out. And if another uninvolved editor does so in the short term, I would likely support that editor's revert of this back to a stub article.

In the meantime, I will note that the stub article, as created, even though it likely would pass muster at WP:GNG because this is such a highly notable launch and landing—very widely covered by reliable source news media—is so stubby that the article will win few friends, followers and supporters if it is not quickly improved.

Any editors who want to weigh in, please comment on the comprehensive discussion at the CRS-8 talk page. — JFG ^talk 07:33, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
