Is there enough in the Heinkel He 113 article to stand on its own? It may make more sense to include it into the Heinkel He 100 article. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 22:40, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually, He 113 was the original designation for the Heinkel He 100. Its designer requested a new RLM designation because the He 100 was intended to break the absolute speed record.

Personally, I think it can stand alone. Mark Sublette (talk) 21:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 21:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge. (Boy, this is a slow-motion discussion!) The "He 113" designation was a propaganda stunt/cover for the He 100, there's no reason it shouldn't redirect to Heinkel He 100 or something like that. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:25, 2 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose Whether it's real or not, it's certainly notable as the 113. One thing we do know about the propaganda creation is that it wasn't the He 100, even though it was "played" by a He 100 for photographs. That's like deleting Monica Geller because we already have an article on Courteney Cox. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Yes, let's put this one to rest, both articles have enough meat on the plate to co-exist. FWiW, I didn't even remember that I had made the merge request. Bzuk (talk) 22:05, 2 February 2011 (UTC).
