 * Rename to Twin-engine aircraft as I can't find any evidence that they're ever officially referred to as "twinjets". Please don't PROD/AfD "common knowledge" articles, find the sources of that common knowledge or submit it to relevant project pages instead. This was clearly written by someone with aviation knowledge but a poor understanding of Wikipedia's citation policy. Jergling (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * (Alternatively, rename to Twin-engine jet aircraft or something to keep it specific to jets) Jergling (talk) 18:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)


 * fwiw, I do see that Trijet does exist, mirroring this naming structure. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:19, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep sources have been added. Sources do exist regardless of whether they're on the article or not. A move to a new article name doesn't require an Afd. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, I added those sources and consider them relatively weak. They loosely confirm the two main claims of redundancy and efficiency. "Trijet" appears to be industry vernacular, unlike "Twinjet", but I am not an expert. Jergling (talk) 22:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I see, well another option is to redirect and selectively merge to Jet airliner itself, maybe. Which is not overly long and seems to mainly discuss aircraft by decade rather than configuration. But again, a merge doesn't require an Afd either. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:50, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Still needs considerable work and referencing, but I have no doubt it could be improved. I don't agree with merge/redirect to Jet airliner because that article is about passenger aircraft only.  This article covers the design of two-engine jets of all types (small, military, cargo, etc.)  I also note that there are dozens of incoming links to twinjet from other WP articles so it should probably stay at the current title.
