Nomenclature

The name of the article was changed a few times back and forth.

9x25mm Dillon follows the usual Wikipedia cartridge nomenclature format that can be seen in the Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges and is also used by the 2nd Edition Lyman Pistol and Revolver Handbook. The other 9 mm "metric" cartridges listed in the Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges use the AxBmm format, though their official nomenclature in their country of origin actually might differ from the Wikipedia method.

9x25 Dillon is used by Dillon Precision.

Correct title should be 9×25 Dillon or 9×25 mm Dillon. 190.96.43.4 (talk) 22:20, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Falling Out Of Favor

As one who competed with a 9x25 Dillon, I disagree with the (citation-needed) reason listed for the 9x25 falling out of favor was the extra blast and parts breakages and injury risk. Myself and everybody else I knew shooting it switched from it due to the 4 more rounds you could get in the magazine with a .38 Super. Blast and injury potential weren't significant factors-- if you wanted you could use the exact same loads the .38 Super guys did.

Survey

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 Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support. It is good practice to use nomenclature that is consistent/in line with how Wikipedia denotes cartridges to keep things as recognizable/uniform as possible; see Wikipedia:Article titles. I know the designation 9x25mm Dillon is not used by the C.I.P. nor the SAAMI nor Dillon Precision itself. The 9x25mm Dillon nomenclature is however in line with the metric cartridge nomenclature used in Wikipedia; A x Bmm Other stuff. The current nomenclature is not used by the C.I.P., the SAAMI nor Wikipedia. The 9x25mm Dillon nomenclature would be consistent with the nomenclature used in the Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges and Category:Military cartridges lists. --Francis Flinch (talk) 23:58, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
