TR-3 Black Manta

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The TR-3 Black Manta is a supposed "black project" aircraft for the U.S. Military. There is little evidence to substantiate the claims in the article and most of the references that do exist are highly speculative. As a result, much of the content of the article is either original research or synthesis. Noha307 (talk) 20:25, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge with Black triangle (UFO): the article does not pretend the craft is real and that the claims can be substantiated, only that it is widely discussed and the claims are verifiable as having been made. Other craft in this position include the Aurora project. Nevertheless, I agree that there is not enough valid content here to sustain a standalone article. I'd suggest creating a section at Black triangle (UFO), listing types (real or imagined) that such triangle sightings have been identified with. Another example (which a quick google will verify) is the BAE Systems Taranis drone. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 07:52, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, the article seems to be in line with protocol regarding supposed black projects. -- Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  04:45, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom. Merge anything reliable elsewhere as warranted. - BilCat (talk) 11:01, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. A lot of speculation and conjecture; agree with Steelpillow, not enough here for stand alone article and can mention same in the Black triangle (UFO) article. Kierzek (talk) 15:43, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
