Overspeed (aeronautics)

This so-called "article" escapes speedy deletion criteria by a hair! In essence, this article says nothing more than "overspeed is too much speed". It consists of: If it said anything more, we could have merged it into ... well, there are a lot of candidates. Codename Lisa (talk) 05:13, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * a dictionary definition (violation of WP:NOT)
 * one line of advice (violation of WP:NOTADVICE)

 * Redirect to V speeds, where it is mentioned. While severely underdeveloped, the article makes sense. The five lines are a starting list of what are termed V speeds. Overspeed itself is a standard concept in aircraft operation and commercial aircraft have an audible overspeed alarm when Vmo, the maximum operating speed, is exceeded. Because an overspeed alarm condition is defined relative to a particular aircraft's Vmo (and Mmo, the Mach equivalent), redirecting to the V speed article provides the best context for readers. It is conceivable the topic could be expanded beyond a mention, in say flight envelope, but redirect is best option until that happens. --Mark viking (talk) 11:02, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Judging from what you said, the first line (advice-like) is VNE, the second is VFC, the third is VMO, the fourth is VFE, the fifth is VLE and the last is VLO. So, it is basically category-2 patent nonsense, not category-1. Thanks for explanation. —Codename Lisa (talk) 12:00, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I did not realize that patent nonsense had been categorized. Thank you in turn for the link. --Mark viking (talk) 17:32, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe I should stop saying "category-2 patent nonsense" and say "Content that apparently intended to mean something but don't". —Codename Lisa (talk) 06:01, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect - Per Mark.  G M G  talk   14:54, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep The topic is notable -- for example, see Flying Magazine for extensive details of what happens if you go overspeed in a Learjet. The rest is then a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion, per our editing policy. Andrew D. (talk) 12:49, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per Mark viking, who seems to have some knowledge of the topic. If Andrew Davidson wants to improve the article, I may change my vote, but there is no content that should be kept at present. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 17:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect (nom), per Mark viking. Yes, I am the nominator, but I agree with the reasonable idea of one of the participants; that's all. —Codename Lisa (talk) 06:25, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, but expand. Review in 120 days. It is a notable concept (for example, Flying Magazine). Give the author(s) of the article 120 days to expand the article. If it is not expanded, delete it as per WP:NOT. desmay (talk) 18:34, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
