@Hawkeye7 and Balon Greyjoy: What do you guys think of changing this to a redirect to Mercury Seven? The other options seem pretty unlikely to be what people are looking for. Kees08 (Talk) 03:34, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support The Bristol Mercury VII doesn't even have its own page, and I have never heard of the other two Mercury missions on the DAB page referred to as "Mercury 7." Balon Greyjoy (talk) 03:45, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bkonrad and ChiZeroOne: I was looking on the file history page and it looked like you might not agree with me. Do you have opinions on this? I have accidentally typed Mercury 7 to mean the Mercury Seven, and have not mistaken it for anything else. I do not feel strongly about making this a redirect, but I think it would be a little better than leaving this as a DAB. Kees08 (Talk) 20:49, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, having had eight years (!) to think on it I’d say I wouldn’t object to a redirect to Mercury Seven as long as the hatnote on that page remains pointing to Mercury-Atlas 7, which is a legitimate alternative. ChiZeroOne (talk) 23:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed it to a redirect. Thanks for coming back to comment after eight years. Cheers! Kees08 (Talk) 22:41, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
