Talk:Comac C909

Rebranding to C909

@Rosbif73. Today, the Comac ARJ21 has been rebranded to the C909 by this source. Is it now time to re-move the ARJ21 page to the C909 page? Hacked (Talk|Contribs) 16:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

WP:NAMECHANGES tells us that we should follow the lead taken by reliable sources after the name change. For the time being all we have in the way of RS is the aviation press reporting on the rebranding announcement. It seems highly likely that other sources will start using the new name, but it's probably a bit early to move the article. Rosbif73 (talk) 07:47, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

The name was also changed on the Comac website: http://english.comac.cc/products/c909/

I think it is time for the re-move. Tempsb (talk) 12:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

That's a primary source, which doesn't count in determining whether reliable sources use the new name or not. What we need is secondary sources reporting on something other than the rebranding announcement. Rosbif73 (talk) 13:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification.

I just looked for it and found this:

That ought to be sufficient. I'll file a technical move request to move it over the existing redirect. Rosbif73 (talk) 10:38, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Comac C909 → Comac ARJ21Comac ARJ21 – The article was previously moved from "Comac ARJ21" to "Comac C909", citing sources that claim Coma "renamed" the aircraft. However, after searching in Chinese sources, I found that the information which claim the aircraft have been renamed is actually incorrected, and what actually happened was an extra commercial name being added onto the aircraft model, and thus it was simply a rebranding attempt that try to attach a new brand name onto the aircraft. Therefore the previous move of the Wikipedia article without the new name being established seems improper and should be reversed.

• Oppose per WP:NAMECHANGES: there are several sources cited in the preceding talk page section that show the new name being used by reliable sources. Rosbif73 (talk) 17:49, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Rosbif73 summed up pretty much what I wanted to say. Regardless of whether it’s an additional name or a total name change, it has seen usage by sources in place of ARJ21. Chinese sources included, by the way: . Comac themselves has apparently also rested upon using C909 in place of ARJ21 as seen at and . Not going to repeat the English sources since there’s enough above. S5A-0043^Talk 05:46, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. Per above. Sandcat555 (talk) 08:48, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Order totals

@Jallouljalloul you’re referencing a mystical link - what link? And how does it show the total being more than four times the number listed in the column, which fails basic maths? Danners430 _{tweaks made} 22:28, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
