Non-notable bomb test Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  00:17, 28 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:11, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Has one of the most widely used explosion images on the internet. ConCompS (talk) 00:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has one of the most widely used explosion images on the internet, Any atomic explosion is notable in my view. Could be listified or merged into an article on the US atomic test programme but until someone gets around to doing that it isn't doing any harm here.filceolaire (talk) 22:36, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Operation Upshot-Knothole. No independent notability is evident, and all information is already at the target page. The image has nothing to do with whether we need an article for this test.  Sandstein   10:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. Whatever the outcome of the debate, shouldn't Upshot-Knothole Dixie, Upshot-Knothole Simon, Upshot-Knothole Harry, and Upshot-Knothole Grable be treated likewise? --Lambiam 01:24, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree with most of these stubs, but Upshot-Knothole Grable seems to be notable, as the first artillery-fired atomic projectile (AFAP). The article itself has considerable content and even some references. --Derek Andrews (talk) 10:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge + Delete: To the mother article, if the image is what makes this article so important, just make sure that is merged as well. Ryan 4314   (talk) 08:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment the image is already there. The only information that is not is the geo coordinates, and they have no citation.--Derek Andrews (talk) 10:32, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge This article also states that Badger was a tower shot as opposed to artillery or underground or whatever. Understanding accrued to science as a result of the test is probably best treated at the series article, as it tends to come as cross sections and hydronymics parameters were refined. - 2/0 (cont.) 19:11, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
