The merger of these articles was discussed on the 1902 Wright Glider talk page, but merger occured before completion of discussion, only 2 days after discussion began and thus no consensus was reached. I have proposed that the page be split back into the sections that it was originally in (ie. one page per glider), rather than simply reverting, as I do not wish to start a reversion war. My posistion is that the merger should be reverted. --GW_Simulations 19:41, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Bad form that discussion wasn't completed, I guess, but I disagree that the merger should be reverted. Unless and until there is significantly more substantial info for any of these aircraft, having a separate article for each is overkill. I do think that perhaps the title should be changed to "Wright Gliders", though. SFT | Talk 03:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Disagree merger. As mentioned, not enough substantial information is present to warrant each glider having its own page. An example would be the North American B-25 Mitchell bomber, there were several different models (A,B,C,D,G,H,J being notable) and each had a different attribute. However, there is substantial information and specifications on each. Even in this case, there has not been a proposal to split the articles that I know of, and there is much more information for each page. But here, just not enough is present.

As a contributor to the Wright Brothers article (including the Glider section), I also think separate glider articles are not necessary. In fact, more information could be added about each glider in this article, without making the article very long. I think it's more convenient and useful for the reader/researcher to keep them all together in one article. DonFB 06:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
