Redirect to Spacecraft, where orbital vehicle already redirects and which already has most of these examples listed. Orbital spaceflight is also a possible target. Reywas92^Talk 02:48, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep/consider disambig. Regarding redirect, a disambig may be better, given the term is also applied to space shuttle: [1], [2], [3], [4] etc. Also, there are other reliable sources that use this term, the question is is there an in-depth discussion of this concept (and do we need a disambig anyway?). Consider [5], [6], [7]. Did the nominator complete BEFORE and is certain no source discuss the concept in-depth? Google Scholar has hundreds of hits. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:05, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing what's already at Orbital Vehicle (disambiguation) and Orbiter (disambiguation), I stand by Spacecraft being the best redirect destination, which also includes the shuttle. Reywas92^Talk 06:54, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it could be renamed to List of orbiters. Note that we have already List of extraterrestrial orbiters and List of Mars orbiters. My very best wishes (talk) 19:42, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Again, note that we already have Spacecraft#Planetary_probes and Spacecraft#Lunar_probes. What purpose would this serve? Why should there be another duplicate page rather than improving what's already elsewhere??? I've added navigation links to these in the main article. Reywas92^Talk 20:27, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying this is a completely duplicate content? If so (I do not have time to check this carefully), let's just make it a redirect if no one objects. I do not object. My very best wishes (talk) 23:58, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 10:30, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Spacecraft as suggested by Reywas92 and My very best wishes. KartikeyaS (talk) 07:25, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
