Ariane flight VA240

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Not notable, per WP:EVENTCRIT. This also fails WP:GNG. All sources are primary. The rocket launch is a normal procedural launch, that does not have "enduring historical significance". I am also nominating the following related pages because they suffer from the reasons listed above:

 * comment Ariane flight VA245 carried BepiColombo so probably has more historical significance than the rest.©Geni (talk) 03:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh my bad, accidentally nominated it. I'll take it out. Lectrician2 (talk) 04:05, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment These launches are covered in list form at Ariane_5. — Goszei (talk) 09:20, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, provided that sources must be added. Per WP:EVENTCRIT: as mentionned above, some of the articles in the series have "enduring historical significance". Moreover, all of them have "widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources". As a consequence, they all meet the notability criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benrem (talk • contribs) 14:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how any of these were "widely covered", in my WP:BEFORE, for all of these articles I saw small space blogs covering them, and not reliable sources. Any of the reporting for these articles also fails WP:DEPTH, as the coverage provided is not "in-depth" reporting. Can you please point me to a example where it fulfills this criteria, with sources?

 * Redirect all to Ariane 5, unless some additional sources turn up that convince me otherwise. As disclosure, I was musing about AfDing these on WP:DISCORD, which helped lead to this nomination, but I was just too lazy to do a full WP:BEFORE on all of them. Goszei's point pushes me into !voting, though. The launches being considered here all appear very routine, meaning that the only pieces of information that we ought to cover about them are number/date/payload/etc., and those are all covered, along with a few others, at the Ariane page. Preserving anything more than that would be WP:INDISCRIMINATE, so these articles fail WP:PAGEDECIDE (as well as likely other parts of the notability guideline, per nom). &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:46, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
