Talk:VSS Unity VF-01

Encyclopedic notability of (individual) Virgin Galactic spaceflights?

I've created the present article which pertains to human spaceflight, and I think it's reasonable (historically) to say that each such individual flight is notable enough to warrant its own article—a small sample size, only a few hundred such events. So, I was motivated to initiate the present article, for the present at least. The initiation of this particular article is modeled closely on the previous VSS Unity VP-03, which I also started.

That said, if these Virgin Galactic flights continue at a regular pace and do turn into regular commercial flights (dozens...), then it may become the case in a few years' time that it isn't appropriate to make a new article for each single flight. I raise the issue here for general discussion about how to manage the encyclopedia around these articles (merging?), because I foresee it.MinnesotanUser (talk) 03:16, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
