DeleteRedirect to either Technical (fighting vehicle) or Multiple rocket launcher,The rocket-launching trucks can be covered under Technical (fighting vehicle)as opposed to making up a name for them. - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 22:50, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]- Redirect to Multiple rocket launcher. There is no distinction with that term between trucks and tracked vehicles. Seems like someone was on the right path, but didn't use a more general search term. I'm not sure I buy the distinction with technicals, either. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 18:58, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know why there is any reason to redirect if the term is original research or just made up. Marcus Qwertyus 01:57, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, it seems to me like the kind of thing that might be searched for, actually. Somebody with no military knowledge who's curious might well think "truck that launches multiple rockets = Multiple Launch Rocket Truck, right?". - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 02:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Like he said, it was a valid enough search term that somebody couldn't find "multiple rocket launcher" and started an article on this name. Redirects are cheap. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 00:41, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
