 * In principle, I think A ROCKET should be included. You will probably find a lot of news on the launch of an operation but not so much for the model. Viztor (talk) 00:43, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , but there's not much coverage of this model. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 00:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I initially did a google search in English, however do to the over simple name, there is little luck finding sources talking about the rocket. However, when I did it in Chinese, a significant amount of the reports are about the rocket. So I guess it's a keep. Viztor (talk) 06:32, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I tend toward a keep; there's 4 pages in this book dedicated to the model and its following variants. A sentence here. A page or two here. Similar here. Those are a couple of sources in English--seems to have some more; I expect there are a few more Chinese sources. There does also seem to be a T-7 Russian rocket. --Izno (talk) 01:23, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , to me that seems like a list of facts and figures. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:10, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh, 4 pages of prose is a list of facts and figures? Never mind the other references. See p308 et al. --Izno (talk) 02:14, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , whoops it defaulted to the appendix.
 * Hmm, maybe it's worth combining this rocket with other similar rockets? --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:16, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect here per WP:WOOD. just asked on WP:Discord if you were right, . I would say yes you are, but I do think that the family of rockets might be notable. I've yet to look in chinese language media, but I'm optimistic.  &#8211;  MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 01:29, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , I tried looking online but the references are few and far in between. I think it wouldn't sufficiently pass WP:GNG.  What you could do is combine the stubs together into an article about the rocket family? --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 02:12, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * [Thank you for the ping] This appendex and a few semi-reliable news sites. I wouldn't have closed out those tabs if I thought you were going to ask haha &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 02:21, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * From the top of my head, it was this astro website and a few blogs (probably something called like Daily Science or whatevs). The real notability would be in Mandarin-language sources. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 02:33, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep – I just happened to have written Wang Xiji, the rocket's designer, two weeks ago and am quite familiar with the topic. This is China's first sounding rocket and a historic milestone (the Chinese government built a monument at its first launch site, see photo in article). It is the predecessor of the Long March 1, the launch vehicle of China's first satellite. Astronautix.com has a detailed page about it, which I added to the article. There are also plenty of Chinese-language sources, and I expanded the article with info and sources about its development from Wang Xiji. Notable beyond doubt. -Zanhe (talk) 06:17, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources exist to justify notability. e.g.  Whether the content gets merged or expanded is an organizational question best left to local consensus among interested editors and WikiProjects. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:13, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per the usual requirement of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Even when nominated this was nothing like a dictionary definition, being about a thing rather than a word or phrase. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:54, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep this article has significant coverage and reliable source to justify keeping. CryptoWriter (talk) 8:20, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep See above comments Viztor (talk) 16:09, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Zanhe has established notability and has done a splendid job in rescuing this article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:43, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
