Nominating these articles covering the individual serial numbered first stage boosters produced by SpaceX, they do not meet notability guidelines and are already well covered by articles on the mission(s) flown, that do meet these notability guidelines.

References supplied in each article focus on the missions. These serial numbers are mentioned in passing, if at all in references.

Also nominating B1019, B1021, B1023, B1029, B1046, B1047, B1048, B1049, B1050, B1051, and B1056. MadeYourReadThis (talk) 18:03, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• About B1019 : It's only the first orbital rocket booster that was ever successfully landed and is now on permanent display at spaceX HQ, that's not notable, right? Only a milestone in spaceflight history and a Los Angeles landmark. 146.60.131.130 (talk) 15:48, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It should definitely be covered in the section of the SpaceX article on the Hawthorn facility, but I dont think it rises to the level of notability for its own article.--MadeYourReadThis (talk) 17:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect all to List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters. No evidence of significant coverage in independent sources, just SpaceX/Elon fanboying. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 23:26, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters, if it someday becomes more widely covered by WP:RS then it can get its own page. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 04:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect all to List of Falcon 9 first-stage boosters per above editors. There’s not sufficient coverage of each booster individually to warrant pages for each of them, and all the relevant information can be provided on the list page. This isn’t denying the historic status of B1019, but being the first in an intended line of mass produced vehicles isn’t enough to warrant coverage on a dedicated article. Mass production means by nature that the details of notable individual units are easily presented within the general product article or a dedicated list page. I don’t believe there’s a dedicated separate article for the very first Douglas DC-3 or the very first Boeing 747 either. Shelbystripes (talk) 05:40, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as per above arguments. No matter how much of a milestone this may be, it doesn't warrant a page for each booster SpaceX makes. It would be better to note this accomplishment in the list instead. Jeb³_{Talk at me here}^{What I've Done} 14:16, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
