- Not really, I did this before the Cup and never bothered to take it to GAN because it wasn't eligible. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:07, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- Aha. I don't think it's eligible either (see comments below).

- Too tiny. Waaay too tiny. Stub, in my opinion, except it's sourced (and not very well at that!).
- Sorry, length is not a consideration. The only valid criteria are the GA-class ones. It's a prototype that never went into production, how many worthwhile sources do you think even mention it?
- Gunston is not in the Notes.
- Look again. He's sourced for the specification.
- It's Gordon and Rigamant.Wikicopter what i do s + c cup|former 23:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

- Comment: Hi there. I was asked to chip in my two cents on the subject. IMHO, the length of the article is marginal; however there are very few reliable sources for Soviet aircraft, even production ones, yet alone prototypes. Using the book by Yefim Gordon is as good as it gets - in fact, it's probably the only significant RS on the type. A gBooks search for "Tupolev Tu-75" turns up 7 hits - every one of them a printed Wikimirror. These prototypes, especially Soviet, are very hard to find information on. And as noted, length isn't a GA concern, rather whether or not all available information on a subject has been used. (See for instance BGM-75 AICBM - just as short or shorter, but there's nothing at all that can be said further about it...) - The Bushranger One ping only 23:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- The AICBM is longer, the only reason this one looks longer is because of the specs. Disregarding that, do you have any info on what the aircraft was doing with the MAP? Wikicopter what i do s + c cup|former 21:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Nothing is specified in either of my sources, but I expect that it was doing a mix of flight tests and ferrying.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
You guys win on the size objection, passed.
