The result was   wrong forum. This is not a deletion nomination, but a merger proposal, which belongs on the article talk page, not on WP:AfD.  Sandstein  05:50, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

International FTTS

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Apparently in 2006 Future Tactical Truck Systems was deferred two years. Nobody has heard from it since because it was probably quietly canceled. Merge everything here to Future Tactical Truck Systems. Marcus Aurelius (talk) 20:30, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see why the cancellation of the programme should mean the deletion of the article. There are hundreds of articles about prototype vehicles that never reached production, if it was notable as a prototype, (which it was) then it is still notable now. I don't believe that FTTS was ever intended as more than a system demonstration project anyway. The vehicles served their purpose and the lessons learned fed into JLTV. Both the articles about the programme and the vehicle probably need a bit of correction and updating but I don't believe that it's appropriate to delete either of them. There is a difference between success and notability. If we deleted all articles of things that didn't come to fruition then Wikipedia would be a very poor place. As Navistar's first foray into military vehicles it directly led to the MXT and MaxxPro designs. It is a significant, notable, and influential military vehicle prototype.

 * If you'd actually read the nomination, you'd have seen where the word "merge" came into play. The nominator doesn't want to delete either article, he wants to consolidate them. A thread on the talk page would have been more appropriate for a merge discussion, though I imagine he followed the growing trend of listing it AfD instead to attract more attnetion to the discussion.  bahamut0013  words deeds 20:50, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge to FTTS. Consolidate the information into one reasonably sized article rather than two stubs. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. I'm not sure why a prototype ever got an article independant of the project anyway, but it makes way more sense to combine it with FTTS.  bahamut0013  words deeds 20:50, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
