HMS Ajax was NOT renamed Boat 7 because they chose the name Ajax for SCOUT SV. No such fact.Phd8511 (talk) 11:35, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to Ajax (armoured vehicle). bd2412 T 23:26, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ajax (Scout SV) → Ajax (military vehicle) – A user looking for the military vehicle among the other "Ajax" pages is likely to find "military vehicle" a more useful disambiguator than "Scout SV".

Support though having the old name in brackets is still useful as a redirect. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:02, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support with modification. The more specific Ajax (armoured vehicle) would be even more helpful to readers (the military in this case is the client, not the type of vehicle). —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 15:56, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The vehicle has no non-military use so "military" seems to me an appropriate adjective, but I don't object to "armoured". Actually "Ajax armoured vehicle" would be better natural-language disambiguation. Wikipedia isn't particularly consistent with military armoured vehicles, e.g.: Warrior tracked armoured vehicle seems to me one word too many since there isn't a Warrior non-tracked armoured vehicle; LIV (SO) Serval is a horrible title; Wolf Armoured Vehicle probably breaches WP:NCCAPS; Jackal is just Jackal (vehicle).

Relisting comment. While everyone is in agreement that some form of move is needed, another week won't hurt to see if we can get some consensus on what the exact disambiguation should be. Jenks24 (talk) 11:59, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Ajax (armoured vehicle). "Scout SV" is not a disambiguation, but an alternative name, and "military vehicle" is adequate (i.e. my 2nd choice) but vague. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 12:13, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Projects

Most modern projects are expensive, fraught with difficulties, and prone to problems - it's par for the course ( look at Starliner). The real concern is what is the end product - does it work : that is unfortunately only discovered when it is put to the test. Birmingham1965 (talk) 09:53, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
