Under the proposed Naming convention to deal with rockets and missiles, Atlas V may require renaming or moving.

Please see the Proposal and discussion page to help us reach a consensus on what to do.

What is the cost of the Atlas boosters? I'd like to compare the cost per pound to low earth orbit for the various boosters.Wrwhiteal 15:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support. In the disambiguation page, there's only two links, and only one exist, so it should be a good idea. Bigtop 16:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. There's a more general naming issue here, see Talk:Delta IV rocket. Andrewa 03:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

  • Closing RM after a week. I'd relist with this few opinions, but seems like the same matter as Delta IV rocket which did not have consensus to move, so not moving this either with only 1 support/1 oppose -Goldom ‽‽‽ 04:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

During the AFD nomination of the Atlas V (disambiguation) page, the consensus was that the disambig should be deleted, and this page should be moved to Atlas V. I am therefore relisting it at RM. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 19:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Atlas V rocketAtlas V

  1. Atlas V redirects to Atlas V rocket.
  2. Per AFD nomination of applicible disambiguation page, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atlas V (disambiguation)

[edit] Slitting the Atlas V article

  • The proposal is to split away the past & planned launches in to a seperate article to clear away large amounts of technicla data.--aceslead 20:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Add "* Support" or "* Oppose" followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~~~~

  • SUPPORT The article has gotten to long with technical facts about past and planed launches. That information should be split off into a seperate article with all that technical data of past, present and future launches.--aceslead 20:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose but support alternative proposed below --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 21:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support When there'll be more launches, the article will really become stuffed. I like the way it was solved on the Delta II page. --Xdado 16:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

[edit] Heavy configuration

This article (and the Common Core Booster article) leave the reader confused about the "heavy" offering. Is it two CCBs, or three? Was there a design change regarding this? Or does this article count one CCB as the first stage and two CCBs as boosters? Does the "heavy" configuration even deserve mention, since there haven't been any and there aren't any customers for it? Sdsds 22:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Length of lead

Is the lead section of this article too long? Reading it through, I'm not sure if there's a logical place to start with article sections.... Sdsds 06:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
