~~No third party source of topic~~Suggest to merge all Nike rockets to a single article as there is not enough source to sustain individual articles for all of them. Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 16:38, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. These rockets share a name, but they aren't all the same. I don't think they should be merged. These rockets were designed and used before the Internet. I was able to find some old reports that had been scanned into PDF format and add them as references, but other references may only avail;able in hard copy. When you do a search for a U.S. military topic, you can focus your search by adding site:mil at the end of your search so that you will only get results within the .mil top=level domain.

Eastmain, the source you added only supports the fact it's used 16 times. Hardly significant, I think. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 10:46, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with merge to a yet to be determined target: We can do better than dictionary entries. Something like Black Brant (rocket) would be better presented. Otr500 (talk) 23:22, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: As long as we don't end up with a large article like Project Nike, obviously receiving a lot of work, has been sectioned tagged with no references since 2011. Otr500 (talk) 23:28, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Eastmain: Merging the articles does not get rid of them, they can still receive individual coverage under one article title, and at a point can always be split if sources provide context for justification. Otr500 (talk) 02:49, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
