# Talk:Lavochkin La-150

The Lavochkin Aircraft 150 appears to be virtually the same article as this one, merely with "Aircraft 150" replacing "La-150". There should be only one article. - The Bushranger (talk) 04:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, The Bushranger chose the wrong way to go when merging these. The proper title is Aircraft 150 following usage by the design bureau. La-XX designations were used only once an aircraft entered service for this OKB and are not appropriate for prototypes. These aircraft are so obscure that I'm not sure that common usage even applies. Gordon uses Aircraft 150 while Gunston uses La-150. Dunno about older books.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:01, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
This is a bit confusing. Are you requestg a "merge" or a "move"? All the other iterations currently redirect here! At any rate, I've raised the issue at WT:AIR#Lavochkin aircraft article names for discussing this in a central location. - BilCat (talk) 23:34, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
It isn't confusing at all. Lavochkin did not use the La-prefix for non-production aircraft, it is a s simple as that!!!. The article title should read Lavochkin Aircraft 150 or Lavochkin Izdeliye 150. To citeGunston is an erroras all he did was perpetuate the fallacy.Petebutt (talk) 14:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
