Merge to Adams CA-2 and redirect (If there is anything to merge). Company notable only for the aircraft, no point in having two articles. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:34, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I guess merging might not be appropriate due to no indpendent & reliable source and Adams CA-2 is manufactured by multiple manufacturers, promoting them there is inappropriate.Sonofstar (talk) 08:34, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Response - the CA-2 article and the Adams website strongly imply that only plans of this aircraft have ever been commercially offered, and never kits. Thus, the "manufacturer" of the aircraft is the individual builder, so it's appropriate to characterize Adams as the successor organization to Corning and Hummel—but the company still fails notability per WP:ORG, as CA-2 plans seem to be its only viable product. (The company also offers plans for another aircraft called the T-100D Mariah, but evidence seems scant that any T-100D has ever flown, so I would argue that it's not notable either. The single photo found online of a "flying" T-100D is obviously heavily retouched and I suspect it's bogus.) Carguychris (talk) 17:18, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Adams CA-2 per Steelpillow. Carguychris (talk) 17:18, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Adams CA-2 - except it is already mentioned there in sufficient detail, so essentially this article can just be deleted. - Ahunt (talk) 18:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Adams CA-2 as per Steelpillow. --Whiteguru (talk) 06:32, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
