NASA Space Shuttle decision → Space Shuttle conception — In order to match the section title at Space Shuttle program#Conception (1960-1970s) that this article expands upon.

I'm somewhat suspicious, given the old discussions above, that the original intent of this article was to create some sort of content fork by splitting this article from it's Space Shuttle program parent. Regardless of the original intent though, the length of the Space Shuttle program article does legitimately create an opportunity for splitting. It seems apparent to me that the editor who did create this article either wasn't a native English speaker, or something... The point being, the current article title is... clumsy. I'm not particularly attached to using "Space Shuttle conception either (that title is somewhat clumsy as well), but I can't think of anything better, and that is what the current section title is on the Space Shuttle program page. The addition of a NASA prefix to the title, as is done currently, is completely unnecessary in my opinion.

Anyway, if anyone has an better ideas for a page title please feel free to share them. I considered Space Shuttle history myself, but that seems a bit too open ended.

Oppose neither title works well... I suggest NASA post-Apollo manned space launch system design process or NASA Space Shuttle design process 76.66.193.221 (talk) 04:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Space Shuttle design process" seems like it could be a decent choice. Note however the omission of NASA as a prefix. The main article: Space Shuttle program, is not prefixed with "NASA", and I think that is appropriate since there are no other operational "Space Shuttles.

That doesn't matter since there have been other shuttle programs, and one of them was at one time operational, and in a few years, NASA's won't be operation either. 76.66.193.221 (talk) 06:20, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you feel strongly enough that the (quickly abandoned) Buran (spacecraft) program actualy has enough public exposure to cause confusion when it comes to the use of the term "Space Shuttle", then I highly recommend that you start a discussion about that at either Talk:Space Shuttle and/or Talk:Space Shuttle program. Barring a change in at least those two articles, I see no reason why this (sub)article should be distinct.
