Fin-Folding Aerial Rocket
Erroneous name Thatnewguy 15:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

This type of rocket is called a Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket, not a Fin-Folding Aerial Rocket. Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket redirects to the Rocket entry, which is appropriate. Fin-Folding Aerial Rocket, on the other hand, is literally a misnomer. Additionally, the article is completely United States-centric and seems to suggest that a generic technology is owned and defined and used solely by the United States. This technology is, in fact, widespread. It's even used in the nation possibly farthest away from the United States, South Africa, in the Rooivalk attack helicopter. Note the Rooivalk's armaments descriptions include Folding-Fin Aerial Rockets but links with the FFAR abbreviation, which links back to this page, the Fin-Folding Aerial Rockets. I propose we fold any useful information from Fin-Folding into the generic Rockets entry and other measures; delete Fin-Folding; and set FFAR to redirect to Rockets, which, of course, receives redirected inquiries for Folding-Fin. --Thatnewguy 15:50, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Having the wrong title is not grounds for deletion. It is a reason to move the article to Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket.  That the article discusses only the United States and not the rest of the world is also not grounds for deletion.  It is simply cause to edit the article and improve it.  Please read Deletion policy, in particular the parts that deal with the various kinds of problem articles.  Uncle G 16:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Move and edit heavily to address the issues above. Artw 16:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, a Move with some seriously heavy editing sounds like a better idea to me now. Thanks. --Thatnewguy 19:55, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Move and tag it for WP:NPOV. --ColourBurst 00:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks like Thatguy96 did the move Boldly, which I support. What is the argument supporting a NPOV tag?  Georgewilliamherbert 06:56, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * globalize may be more appropriate, given the above. Uncle G 11:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
