- Keep-ish, I think. I'm not sure about that. WT:CFI#Names of specific entities lets us debate those, and we do find names of specific spacecrafts in running text. But then again, Talk:Curiosity has a few terms that failed RFD. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 22:17, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- I don't consider the names of specific individual vehicles to be dictionary content. Something for Wikipedia. Delete. Equinox ◑ 22:23, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

- IF Stardust is not merely the name of a single vessel of which similar models with other names exist, but rather the name of a unique kind of vehicle, I'd say we keep it. Otherwise I agree with the above. Korn [kʰũːɘ̃n] (talk) 10:51, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

- Abstain. I support keeping attested single-word names of specific entities except for those that are capitalized versions of common nouns; there are probably other exceptions. Here, stardust is a common noun. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:41, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
