[edit] Questions
Is it really necessary to cut and paste portions of two B-Class articles to create a stub that will likely remain a stub for...dare I say, years? --Born2flie 02:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Concur. Needs to be merged back into OH-58 and OH-6. Conversely, it could be converted into an article on the history of observation helicopters, and moved to Observation helicopters. - BillCJ 20:48, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- On second look, if anything can be kept, it could be merged to the Military helicopters article along with the Utility helicopter page, all of which are stubs. - BillCJ 20:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I stumbled across this article again last week and I've been reworking it. I think we can afford to keep it here for a bit longer, it helps to straighten out the LOH sections of the three aircraft articles that were a part of the program. As a program, so much went on that I know it could be a larger article than it is, but I just don't know if we can find the sources without OR. Since it requires blending of sources that approach the LOH from different angles, it has already helped me clarify some timelines that are probably a bit out alignment on the OH-58 Kiowa article. I didn't realize that we even had an article called Military helicopters. --Born2flie 21:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't know we had one either. Go ahead and keep working on this, and we'll see what we end up with. - BillCJ 21:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect
The LOH page need to be redirected to the LOH (disambiguation) page and the LOH page must be renamed Bell LOH.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 15:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Bell LOH? The LOH/Light Observation Helicopter is a programme/competition, not a helicopter. At this point, the original US Army LOH programme is by far the primary topic, being over 40 years old. Keeping Light Observation Helicopter here is fine for now, but you are welcome to propose a formal move. - BillCJ (talk) 15:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
