I find it questionable to label the 1400 series as mainframes, although the 7010 certainly is a mainframe, and puzzling that the list doesn't include, e.g.,

IBM System/390 contains technical details on ESA/370 while
IBM System/370 does not. I believe that the best way to proceed would be to retitle ESA/390 as ESA/370 and ESA/390 rather than to create a separate ESA/370 article or to copy most of the material in
