As already suggested on the talk page of these articles, I am suggesting a merger of these closely related aero engine articles into a single article.
Rationale:
Kurfürst ( talk) 12:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I see there is generally no support of this, but I will give a couple of reasons. If we start to develop the 600/601/605/603 articles, it will be probably neccessary to describe the somewhat unique features (which is shared by a number of other WW2 German and other aero engines), such as side mounted supercharger that was driven by a hydraulic clutch and controlled by a barometric unit for maximum supercharger effiency, single lever engine control systems, why inverted vee design was choosen, the noteworthy use of the Bosch direct fuel injection, assymetric compression ratio etc. in each an every DB 60x article.
Moreover each article, if it would (as I plan) devote space to history of development which would again repeat the same, since all of these engines, despite their different designations, are really just linear developments of the same original F4 engine (w. the exception of the 603, which I believe was a bit more distant cousin of this engine 'family'). Each article would repeat the same: from 1929, Daimler Benz begun development of the F4 engine... blah blah blah, then, through the DB 600, the DB 601 we got to the subject of our article, the DB 605.
This would be needlessly repetitive. OTOH I see the concerns that the proposed merged article would be eventually too long. So what I am now pondering is that this could be a sort of a summary article for this series of aero engines, roughly describing development, common technical details (as mentioned above), a shortly describe the development, while for the technical details it would list the Main article for each engine (ie. Main article DB 601, Main article DB 605 etc.), while these other articles would be a bit trimmed down to concentrate on the tech details engines themselves.
