PDV Mk-II
I suggest a new article be created for Prithvi Defence Vehicle Mark-II. This missile is part of the Indian ABM programme Phase-2 (Phase-1 got ready a few months ago). It is significant enough for a new article. — Vaibhavafro Talk  20:30, 23 September 2019 (UTC)


 * ❌: A separate article is not needed. Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme is enough. (Reply to own comment) &#8212;&#x202F; Vaibhavafro &#x202F;&#128172; 05:24, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

T.S. Kelso credibility
T.S. Kelso is an astronomer https://www.celestrak.com/webmaster.php who maintains a public copy (no registration required) of the U.S. Air Force satellite catalog (requires registration). He certainly has as much credibility as Jonathan McDowell cited in the article and way more credibility that the anonymous staff in the current reference. Questions?

2019 Indian anti-satellite missile test → Mission Shakti – For naming consistency (with Operation Burnt Frost), precision and conciseness per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. What if India conducts another ASAT test in 2019? What if addtional reports of the failed ASAT of February 2019 emerge, so that WP:GNG is fulfilled and a new article needs to be created? Preempting most likely reasons for not agreeing: You may cite 2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test for naming consistency. That isn't justified since we don't know the name of that Chinese test; we have simply no other option for that article. Another reason for challenging this move could be WP:COMMONNAME; this isn't valid since there are abundant media reports that use "Mission Shakti" to describe this event (ie., "Mission Shakti" is indeed a WP:COMMONNAME for this event). Additional example: As an example, why isn't Pokhran-II named "1998 Indian Nuclear test"? &#8212;&#x202F; Vaibhavafro &#x202F;&#128172; 16:13, 27 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Support A few of the sources do use the name Mission Shakti so I am ok with the proposal. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  16:59, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Support for obvious reasons. We don't need to have an indicative sentence as title if official name of event is availiable. However, if any more ASAT tests are conducted, I would rather propose an article ASAT program of India and get all test articles merged into that. Aman Kumar Goel(Talk) 02:37, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Various sources use the phrase Mission Shakti including The Hindu, Ministry of External Affairs, The Times of India, The Wire, India Today etc. Also the rationale for shifting the article to Mission Shakti makes sense; an uncontroversial move. Accordingly the lead will need to be modified and changes made to the body to reflect the page move. Above suggestion of having a page on the lines of "ASAT program of India" if more tests happen makes sense too. DTM (talk) 03:14, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Rationale seems logical.  Kees08  (Talk)   22:37, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Bit obvious. Brown Chocolate (talk) 14:07, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support because the Indians surrounding me called the event Mission Shakti, thus fullfil the common name policy. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 12:28, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
