Requested move 17 March 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Javelin (rocket) → Javelin (sounding rocket) – WP:AT ambiguous disambiguation is a bad idea. The current title should point to the disambiguation page javelin (disambiguation). There are multiple rockets by this name FGM-148 Javelin, Javelin (surface-to-air missile) included -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Based on the definitions we use for Rocket (weapon) and Missile, can either of the others be referred to as a rocket? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 23:03, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Both of the other two are guided rockets, rocket powered missiles. Not all missiles are rocket powered (cruise missiles usually use jet engines). We have articles on such like Direct Attack Guided Rocket which is a rocket-powered missile similar to a Hellfire. From the definition from the main article Rocket, any missile with a rocket engine is a rocket. So, these are not unguided rockets, and "rocket (weapon)" is referring to unguided rockets, while "guided rocket" is a common type of weapon [1]; meanwhile a wikt:missile is also anything that is thrown and follows ballistics, which isn't anything that is powered in flight (ie. a baseball or bullet is a missile, but a jet or rocket-powered missile isn't this kind of missile); so all three fit the definition of rocket as found at rocket -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 23:22, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That mostly checks out to me. I'll leave this for someone more solid than I in their knowledge of military technology, though. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 23:33, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
