MPTA-098Space Shuttle Main Propulsion Test Article – My reasoning is that the current article title may be too precise to be a natural and recognisable title (WP:PRECISE). To anybody not intimately familiar with the subject of the article itself, the current title may come off as just a random assortment of letters and numbers that don't convey a clear meaning. Spelling out the acronym might help clearly identify the subject of the article, and further disambiguating it with "Space Shuttle" will make it clear what the subject is a test article of (WP:DAB), and make it consistent with other articles about test articles and orbiters that use "Space Shuttle" as a disambiguator, such as Space Shuttle Inspiration, Space Shuttle Pathfinder, Space Shuttle Enterprise, ect.

Just call it what NASA calls it? Find out what the "offical" name is and name the page that. Wingman1 21:45, 12 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wingman1 (talkcontribs)

@Wingman1: This would be against the wisdom of WP:OFFICIAL though, and doesn't address any of the issues I brought up. — Molly Brown (talk) 02:58, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
