This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
A fact from Centurion C-RAM appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 May 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Centurion C-RAM can fire 4500 rounds per minute?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
This is not a full review, but the article is currently a stub and fails the
WP:DYKCOMPLETE criteria. One of the reasons it is at
WP:MERGEPROP is because the topic of the article is already covered more thoroughly at
Phalanx CIWS#Centurion C-RAM. I think we would need to see the article significantly expanded in order to feature it at DYK. If content is merged from the Phalanx CIWS to the
Centurion C-RAM article, I would argue that this isn't even a "new article". And we would need to see a 5x expansion from the prose size of the original section on this topic in the
Phalanx CIWS article to feature it at DYK.

No problem, at the point it was nominated it was rated C-class, no opinion on the rating change. As for the newness, it was a new article (moved from sandbox) when I nominated it, and it seemed to me that would be acceptable as 'new' under DYK policy, I don't see anything about splits in the DYK criteria. Thank you,

Expanding now that it has survived, I think that a split of an article (especially given that the content is completely different) should be considered new, as mot other notable articles are mentioned at other places. I am not sure, but plan on trying to expand it to GA levels in the future (summer break) so if it is not that would be ok with me.

Long enough, new enough. I can't see where in the source it says that the C-RAM was specifically developed to intercept mortar shells, although perhaps I'm being blind, and ALT0 is more interesting anyway. No maintenance templates deserved and QPQ unnecessary. I am not happy with that level of whitespace in the article, please do something about this, and I've just cleared out no fewer than seven typos, please verify there are no more. Also, "Ukraine has not acquired any units yet but is negotiating with the United States to receive them" will date, and should be attributed.--Launchballer11:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)reply

Launchballer: Fixed typo stuff, embarrassed about that. That might not be the best source for it, I can get another one from the article if needed. Where specifically is there whitespace? Attributed and dated.

Launchballer:Thank you! Working on the whitespace issue, will fix that. As for the RSP thing, it is only really being used for basic facts, such as length width height and weight, other sources provide the rest. Would this be an acceptable use for it, as it only said that it was paid reporting on RSP. Either way, I suppose it would also work to try to find other sources first. Working on all this.

There shouldn't really be any references in the infobox whatsoever, although that isn't a DYK issue. If they're all from the same source, something as simple as "Source:[X]" could suffice, such as at
Boyz Unlimited. (I am not a fan of
WP:CLUMPs of references, at all, and if I had my druthers, sentences that genuinely need it would be forced into a note such as at
Piri#Notes, but that is also not a DYK issue.) You do however need something for the Weight and Radar bullets.--Launchballer11:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Yes and no, Centurion appears to be the common name, used in a couple of the other articles, but its actual name is the “Centurion Land-Based Phalanx Weapon system. Also called Centurion LBWs or Centurion C-RAM.

Stub class
The body of the article is below 1500 characters, making this a clear stub. Plus there are enough gaps in content to make this questionably not even start class.

Interesting. I did not think that way, but suggest merge it with the
Phalanx_CIWS article. This mentions that multiple time but lacks links to there- that article has links to this one.
