Skyramp → Rail-launched spaceflight — Following up on AFD discussion, whilst there was not consensus to delete, I don't think there was consensus to keep it as is either. Therefore I feel that it should be given a more general title to allow broader coverage (to clarify, "skyramp" is the name for a single proposal). --G W… 21:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that simply Rail launch is sufficient. The item in question is the launch mechanism, i.e. launch vs. spaceflight. I don't think there is enough written on the subject to come up with a common name.[1] On second thought rail launch won't work because the navy is working on EMALS, a similar launch system for aircraft carriers. And the Rail space launch is very different from the EMALS system. Different in application, identical in operation. 199.125.109.135 (talk) 22:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Although another (undiscussed) move has taken place, I do not feel the new title is sufficiently succinct, so I would like this request to still be considered. Had the new title bee proposed, I would have raised objections. --G W… 16:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Followup[edit]

Please could you explain your rationale for closing as no consensus? The anon had withdrawn his objection ("On second thought rail launch won't work"), so I make it two (or one if you don't count the anon as he didn't make it explicitly clear if he supported the proposal after withdrawing his !vote, but it was implied) in favour, none against. --G W… 08:56, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It did not look like there was agreement among the few participants, but it's also very possible that I got confused from all the different names being thrown around. Considering that the article was abruptly renamed "rocket sled launch", there should be a discussion whether this new name or the proposed name is better. —harej (talk) (cool!) 17:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I've sent it back to RM for another try. --G W… 17:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rocket sled launch → Rail-launched spaceflight — Relisting; this would benefit from more comments. Jafeluv (talk) 20:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current title is grammatically poor, and was chosen unilaterally whilst discussion of other names was ongoing. Proposed title is more succinct and grammatically correct. --G W… 17:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 23:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Why? WP:POLL --G W… 20:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support as proposed name is grammatically correct and more descriptive of the actual subject. - Dravecky (talk) 20:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Ignoring what I personally know to be true, what is currently referenced in the article is the name "Sky ramp". IAW with WP:COMMONNAMES then, the original move either should not have occurred or should have have been a move to Sky ramp (with the space)... Any other name needs to be supported with reliable sources. Really, this whole article should probably be merged into Single-stage to orbit (probably into the Launch assists section) or someplace similar, however.

FWIW Skyramp isn't reliably source either.- (User) Wolfkeeper (Talk) 23:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At least it's actually used in a reference... Anyway, that's partially why I suggested merging, below. All of the other references seem to be talking about SSTO development in one fashion or another.

Merge Discussion[edit]

As mentioned above, this should probably be merged into Launch assists

Oppose, rail or sled launched spaceflighs are not neccessarily SSTOs. --G W… 10:42, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
