Big cleanup needed
editObviously, this article needs a bit of work. As I see it, we need two things: sections within the list, and inclusion criteria.
On sectioning, I believe that we would do well initially in making two sections: Proposed systems, and systems that actually made it to production.
On inclusion criteria, I recommend that we limit it to launch systems that have articles. Some proposed launch systems simply aren't notable. So they don't get included here.
So there you go, I suppose. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- I think we should differentiate between systems that were proposed but cancelled/not developed, and systems that are still under development. I also think that whether or not a system has an article is a very bad inclusion criteria, since there are reasons other than notability that a topic may not have an article, and notability for list inclusion is generally held to be far below notability for having an article of its own. --GW… 12:36, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- I concur with GW. And, yes, this article really needs a lot of work. N2e (talk) 13:30, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
I am putting a WP:TNT on this article for a fresh start. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 12:59, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

List of launch vehicle designs → ? – The current name is misleading, as the article only includes designs that were either canceled or never left the drawing board. The new name should be "List of canceled launch vehicle designs" or "List of proposed and canceled launch vehicles" or something like that. Let's discuss which one is better. — UnladenSwallow (talk) 13:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- I agree, the list should be moved. I prefer the first of your proposals. BegbertBiggs (talk) 20:43, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
