Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Misplaced Pages's naming conventions.

• Oppose the missile's name is Standard, not Standard Missile. Like Tarter missile or Terrier missile. --Dual Freq (talk) 17:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Well whenever I see the whole thing spelled out, the word Missile is capitalised. Missile does appear to be part of the name, after all, the abbreviation is "SM-3" not "S-3". --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 17:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • And it's manufacturer capitalises the M as well - http://www.raytheon.com/products/standard_missile/ --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 17:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
