[edit] Merge proposal

Oppose merge: The reason this article exists is that it came off the orignal XF5U and needed elaboration. 'Since I wrote or substantially contributed to both articles, there is a reason for treating them as separate aircraft. The V-173 emerges as the only true flying disk aircraft while the XF5U is an interesting development, but it is an "also-ran." There is enough information that is different to make each article stand out on its. own. FWIW Bzuk 21:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC).FWIW Bzuk 21:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC).

Since no consensus has emerged, the merge proposal is moot. FWIW Bzuk 01:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC).

I agree that both of these stand on their own merits. They are suitably linked together. --Colputt 17:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
