From the sources in the article, the 6X is based wholly on the canceled 5x, with optimization for slightly larger engines. Given that a number of aircraft articles have been merged in the past few years that have similar differences, this should be a no brainer. I don't know why the 5X article wasn't just moved here instead of creating a new article, but whatever. - BilCat (talk) 04:39, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. If either model section grows too large, it will be possible to split them if needed. I created a separate article after the Talk:Gulfstream_V#GV/GV-SP_merge discussion, I thought it would receive some opposition.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 05:34, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The difference between the GV/GV-SP and the 5X/6X is that the 5X will probably never be built as designed, and is thus a minor step in the 6X's history. I'm surprised Dassault chose to burn the 5X name over such relatively minor changes, but perhaps they'll reuse it sometime in the future, like Gulfstream did with the G500. - BilCat (talk) 06:37, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are more changes between the 5X and the 6X (a stretch and a re-engine) than between the GV and the GV-SP (aero tweaks, avionics, a pair of windows). The 5X may be re-launched if the Safran Silvercrest sorts out its problems for the Citation Hemisphere, which just received Netjets' blessing.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 08:22, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'd have no problem with a split if it's relaunched. - BilCat (talk) 20:20, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
