This afd nomination was incomplete. The nominator's reasoning was movd ws 7/05. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 16:39, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Was moved, it's blank, nobody's missing anything.
• Keep this is a notable and significant federal law, and I created a stub for it. No reason to delete. Paul 18:02, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- JJay 20:32, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to NASA and put a Wikisource link there to the moved text. I doubt the stub will ever be expanded beyond what is already in the history section of NASA. The NASA article has a link to "National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958" that at least needs to be changed if the stub stays. -- JLaTondre 01:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• Change my vote to Keep per Jtmichcock. I've also fixed the link at NASA. -- JLaTondre 03:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep to allow proper categorisation. CalJW 01:40, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge + redirect to NASA. --Daveb 04:21, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain, nevertheless I "feel" the article has potential to grow as this is the law which is perhaps the first legal enactment of its kind in the world. --Bhadani 09:19, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Please treat my vote as Keep. --Bhadani 15:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The Act did more than create NASA, it also created the national aeronautics board (separate from NASA)and made provisions making space inventions non-patentable under certain circumstances. Jtmichcock 01:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• Would you mind adding that to the article so it's captured for whoever expands the stub? -- JLaTondre 03:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• Done. Note that the creation of the military coordination panel led to Vandenberg AFB being into a military facility for space travel. This exists outside NASA's direct control now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtmichcock (talk • contribs)

• Look great. Thanks... -- JLaTondre 15:56, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
