Note for reviewers

Article originally created by Canadien1867, then deleted. Given that the information regarding this flight has been expanded, I've submitted it for review.

As this question was asked during the review of List of Super Heavy boosters, NASASpaceflight, as are videos they publish, per WP:RSYT. Redacted II (talk) 23:11, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect to List of Starship launches was a result of the deletion discussion. Redacted II (talk) 01:28, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've started a discussion on List of Starship launches for creation of the article. Redacted II (talk) 17:44, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I believe that an article regarding this topic has previously been deleted at AfD after the consensus of the community.Please refer to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Starship flight test 9. Pygos (talk) 01:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was deleted. It has since been expanded and thus resubmitted for review.

Check the note I left in the draft talk page, which I'll repeat here:

The submission violates no rules of Wikipedia, so please explain why its "contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia". Redacted II (talk) 02:05, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Counterargument: this article has been expanded and updated with a lot of new information since the deletion discussion. Also, the flight 8 article was created the day flight 6 lifted off, and if we follow that pattern, shouldn't this article have been created shortly after the flight 7 launch? Also, flight 8 is possibly launching in just 2 weeks (following the NET date of Feb 24th), and even more information about flight 9 will almost certainly be provided soon. Also, heres another fun fact: when the flight 8 article was created, it had significantly less information than the flight 9 article does now, and nobody seemed to care about it back then. Additionally, this flight 9 article has a wide variety of reliable sources, which some members of the original deletion discussion did not seem to notice or understand. Therefore, I believe this article can be created at this point, as there are no longer any valid reasons not to. Canadien1867 (talk) 23:13, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
