Scorpius Space Launch Company

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable Space corporation, very limited references online. Quadraxis (talk) 20:31, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment from nominator: It is my (admittedly cynical) opinion that Scorpius doesn't appear to be anywhere near creating or launching spacecraft, and hasn't made any publicly visible strides towards that. I know that isn't as material to the discussion at hand or Wikipedia's policies (i.e. if there was a strongly notable private spacecraft company that was failing to create spacecraft or work towards it, they would probably warrant an inclusion on Wikipedia!), hence why I didn't put it in the actual nomination. That said, there are quite a few references to Scorpius on articles like List of private spaceflight companies and related topics. If this article does end up getting deleted, then I think there's a good case to be made for excising many of those references too. --Quadraxis (talk) 05:49, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete for now at best and draft & userfy later if needed as I found links at Books, News and Highbeam but perhaps not solid enough for a convincingly better article especially from its current state. SwisterTwister   talk  07:25, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete There are a few small outfits like Scorpius that either quietly cease operations or de-scope/re-scope their missions without much if any public discussion. Quite a few of them were notable as they were up-and-coming and showed some likelihood of succeeding and therefore more material was expected for future article development.  But many, if not most, fizzled out.  As their notability hung in part on their promise and their promise hasn't visibly come to pass, I'd agree that there is just not enough reliable material to hang a hat on.  aremisasling (talk) 17:05, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
