• Object to speedy move WP:OFFICIALNAME, we don't just use the official one. Further "Nevada Proving Grounds" is pretty popular -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 21:06, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose WP:UCN -- the common name is "Nevada Test Site"; "Nevada National Security Site" and "Nevada Proving Grounds" are of similar popularity, less than that of the current title, "Nevada Test Site" -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 00:24, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
• Comment this was discussed before at #Requested move (2014) -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 00:25, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
  • PINGING @The Bushranger, In ictu oculi, Vegaswikian, and Binksternet: participants of the last move request -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 00:28, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. Not much has changed since the last move request in 2014. The new official name has not established itself stronger than the old name, so the old name is still the common name. Binksternet (talk) 05:22, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. Not much has changed since the last move request in 2014, as above In ictu oculi (talk) 19:16, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. WP:COMMONNAME still applies, just as it did when the page was moved from the proposed title. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:00, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Land use before 1950

Please add in the article any use of the land, which is today the Nevada Test Site, before 1950 ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DF:1F26:4409:85FE:FDC4:72EE:FAE2 (talk) 18:43, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Area 16

Comes Airforcemanagement saying that there were seven, not six tests in area 16. I see the following:

Flintlock/Double Play, 15 Jun 1956, location U16a.03

Nougat/Marshmallow, 28 Jun 1962, location U16a

Whetstone/Gumdrop, 21 Apr 1965, location U16a.02

Bowline/Ming Vase, 20 Nov 1968, location U16a.04

Mandrel/Diamond Dust, 12 May 1970, location U16a.05

Grommet/Diamond Mine, 1 Jul 1971, location U16a.06

They were all in the U16a tunnel complex, in horizontal drifts. There is a U16b complex, but it was dug only for use with the non-nuclear test "Divine Strake", which was ultimately canceled.

If there was another test I am unaware of, please write in the name and date. Change reverted. SkoreKeep (talk) 10:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Did the atomic tests at the Nevada site generate EMPS?

With 100 above-ground atomic blasts, did anyone report electronic damage due to EMPs in Las Vegas or elsewhere? TigeyPuss (talk) 19:08, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
