The result was redirect to Scaled Composites. Not a lot of discussion here, but from what there is, the redirect seems like the best compromise. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

 * This is unrelated to astronomy. Why not inform WPSpaceFlight and WPRocketry? (not everything space is related to astronomy) -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 05:21, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Scaled Composites where the topic is mentioned, with its own two sub-subjects. This does not appear to be independently notable per available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:20, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Rename this is clearly a notable subject, the problem is the name. The topic of this article is the space launch platform composed of SpaceShipTwo and White Knight Two. This is the only article on the entire platform. The name of the platform changed to become "unnamed" from its former designation of "Tier 1b"; the evidence of the platform existing is that they've already built hardware and crashed a spaceplane. Then problem is that there is no current name, only this outdated name. GNG is established with the multitude of sources referring to WK2+SS2 everywhere. -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 05:20, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It would need a descriptive name, such as Virgin Galactic manned suborbital spaceflight platform ; from the inception of the project, the Scaled share has been reduced to much less as it is today. Virgin bought out Scaled's share of TSC. Then after the crash of Enterprise, the development program was taken over by Virgin. So the platform is now Virgin's and not Scaled's. -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 10:28, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
