RLV Technology Demonstration Programme → Pushpak (spaceplane) – namechange as per this slide in today's livestream —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 07:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree: We need larger context of it. Is it just particular mission is it about whole programme etc. We should wait for the name change to show up in official documents and website like it was done for LVM3. At one point they even referred to RLV-TD as Pegasus in one of their videos but clearly that was one off mention. Ohsin 18:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah bro, its can even be a rlv pushpak like space Shuttle Atlantis. But no problem, lets see where this discussion goes. —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 18:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Few RLV-LEX tests should be attempted in coming weeks/months and may be it will clear up then or in Annual Report due in Early March 2024. Ohsin 18:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Supported, Times of India already made an article about the renaming of the RLV program to Pushpak. user:FossilDS 17:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:NAMECHANGE. Pushpak (spaceplane) can be created as a redirect here, but it is far too early to move this page and I can find next to no sources using this new name compared to the old one. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 00:17, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright? I don't disagree that this is a new name for the subject, I'm opposing as it hasn't been shown to be the WP:COMMONNAME yet per WP:NAMECHANGE. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 03:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am bit confused later that is media misinterpreted by the fact that, is it RLV Pusphak synonymous to Space Shuttle (SS) Discovery. Like we say SS Discovery, isn't it its RLV Pushpak unlike just Pushpak? (Sorry if you didn't understand I will say again) —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 03:27, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I kinda of understand what you are saying, but I don't see how it directly relates to this request.

Again, as "Pushpak" is the new name of the "RLV Technology Demonstration Programme", then WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NAMECHANGE apply and I oppose this move.

I don't see how "RLV Pusphak" comes into this, that title isn't directly involved in this request, and the current title and requested target are entirely different, it has nothing to do with abbreviations, etc. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 03:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain ; we ought to wait till more sources confirm ( maybe we can create after the RLV - ORX or that orbital re-entry experiment . ISRO is bound to clear up the name by then. RAZOR-X (talk) 02:23, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
