Discusion for ARM Cortex article overhaul

We need to discuss the following...:

  • Should there be unique articles for each of the ARM Cortex families?
  • Should there be only 3 major ARM Cortex articles instead, and redirect all sub-flavors to these 3 new articles?
    • ARM Cortex-A
    • ARM Cortex-R
    • ARM Cortex-M
  • The popularity of the M0 and M4 are starting to take off, and some R-series needs to be created, thus it would be easier to pick some direction before having a bunch of tiny articles.

I'm not knowledgeable on microelectronic design (or even electronic, come to that!) The usual sources should give an indication of individual notability:
Other than that, I suppose it depends on who's got time to work on the articles. Separate articles would ideally be summarised elsewhere - so if the content is mostly static that could be done at the same time. But for the -A15 (and others?) there will certainly be future significant media coverage which could mean separate articles being a maintenance issue in connection with the summary section(s). (Apologies if that's stating the obvious.) -- Trevj (talk) 20:22, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cortex M devices are being implemented by numerous vendors and are getting very popular. Let us focus on Cortex M devices first and later we could think of Cortex A devices. Mostly the architectural information, historical information, vendors implementing this architecture, etc.. are listed for Cortex processor families. Hence, there is no issue to maintain them as single article or multiple articles Viswesr (talk) 02:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I "renamed" the "ARM Cortex-M3" article into "ARM Cortex-M" article, and created redirect links from "ARM Cortex-M0", "ARM Cortex-M1", "ARM Cortex-M4", "ARM Cortex-M4F". I also created a redirect for "ARM Cortex-R". There was already a "ARM Cortex-A" redirect. • SbmeirowTalk21:44, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: A date for the release of each Cortex architecture will be very helpful. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_ARM_microprocessor_cores&action=submit#
