This twitter post, from bonafide Florida Today reporter James Dean, looks pretty solid. Looks like "Launch Complex 13" is going to get an official name change to "Landing Complex 1", as a part of the new leasee leasing the facility from the USAF. FlaToday tweet by James Dean. I'm sure it will be covered in the main space media in the next couple of days. N2e ( talk) 04:52, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
I feel that changing the name of the article so hastily without re-organizing the article isn't a good decision.
- The current lead doesn't even mention the full name of SLC-13 in full, which means that (for example) if people come in to try to find out the history of the place where the Lunar Orbiter series left Earth, that person will be very confused when looking at the article if he/she doesn't know much about SpaceX. In fact, I feel that the current article is too SpaceX-centric and does an injustice to the original history of the launch site.
- Given that the site has two different functions in the past and present (unlike, say, the Cape's SLC-37 where its function is launching rockets both in the past and present), I would say that it would be best to split the articles into two - leaving the original history in the 1960s/70s here (and rename the article back to CCAFS SLC-13, to prevent any interlinking problem), and turn the LZ-1 part into a new article. I feel that there would be enough material around to make two articles without having to clutter them together and confuse people all around. This can also be done when the new pad at Vandenberg AFB (SLC-4W) opens as early as next month.
