– NASA has consistently used roman numerals for Artemis mission names. We currently, and somewhat awkwardly, reference this in the first line of each page.

For example: "Artemis 3, officially Artemis III, is...".

For the sake of accuracy and simplicity, I would like to propose we move the pages to use the same roman numeral convention. RickyCourtney (talk) 20:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, consistency with Wikipedia titles referring to the Apollo program, Project Gemini, and Project Mercury, etc. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to a reference cited on the pages, NASA has addressed this discrepancy: "While Apollo mission patches used numbers and roman numerals throughout the program, Artemis mission names will use a roman numeral convention."^[1] -- RickyCourtney (talk) 18:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of Gemini's patches contained only Roman numerals but its 12 missions are still remembered and commonly known, as well as titled on Wikipedia, with simple numbers. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Using Roman numerals meets the Naturalness guideline because it's the convention NASA actually uses. I got here today because I was searching for "Artemis III". You can't be consistent with both the actual name and the standards used for previous programs, and the actual name makes more sense. Jwolfe (talk) 17:15, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the Naturalness guideline applies; does NASA (a primary source) determine what's 'natural?' See: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22Artemis%203%22,%22Artemis%20III%22&hl=en for a sense of what's natural. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 10:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd search Artemis 3 too. That's just because it's easier to type, just like you would search SLS instead of Space Launch System. Narnianknight (talk) 13:02, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Official NASA convention is more important than any other factor. Narnianknight (talk) 12:40, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per NASA convention. 21 Andromedae (talk) 14:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support as it is an established use; decimal numerals would still be used as redirects. This may not be consistent with other NASA programs, but that's not our problem: if the primary source is not consistent, we have no reason to enforce such consistency for them Cambalachero (talk) 14:24, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Artemis I was an uncrewed Moon-orbiting mission that was launched on November 16, 2022. It was the first major spaceflight of NASA's Artemis program and marked the agency's return to lunar exploration since the Apollo program after 5 decades. It was the first flight test of the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the missions main objective was to test the Orion spacecraft in preparation for future Artemis missions. Artemis I was launched from Launch Complex 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. After reaching orbit, the upper stage separated and performed a trans-lunar injection before releasing Orion and ten CubeSat satellites. Orion completed one flyby of the Moon on November 21 and completed a second flyby on December 5.
