Grumman/Northrop Grumman[edit]

The convention for aircraft articles seems to be to keep the name of the original manufacturer. So for example, the article for the F-15 is still "McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle" despite the plane now being produced by Boeing. So I'd say this article's title should be changed to "Grumman EA-6B Prowler" —Masterblooregard (talk) 03:13, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree with this statement, on all points:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_F-15_Eagle

It is eleven-and-a-half years later. Why has this change not been enacted?

Most of us do not have the ability to do this. Can someone with appropriate authority please review this. 2A00:23C7:3131:FE01:C5FA:6037:9855:5FE0 (talk) 18:46, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, but renaming this article has little real benefit for the effort. The Lead makes it clear that Prowler was formerly Grumman in the Lead. -Fnlayson (talk) 14:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
