Northrop Grumman E-8 Joint STARS → Grumman E-8 Joint STARS – Why does Northrop Grumman, a corporation formed in 1994, get credit for an aircraft that first flew in 1988? Rename per WP:AIR/NC. Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1992–93 Schierbecker (talk) 01:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

- Weak oppose I can see the arguments both ways on this. Per WP:AIR/NC, we should be "wary" of using "non-contemporary names". That would imply we should make the move. However, the JSTARS was produced up through 2005, meaning that it was produced by Northrop Grumman after the merger; and most sources that I've found that identify the manufacturer use the Northrop Grumman identifier, which strongly implies per WP:AIR/NC that we should use the name that is commonly used "by consensus". I don't think it makes a huge difference either way, but in that case I'd go with the name that seems to be most used by consensus, which is the current one. ⇒SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 01:29, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
