The content of ASDE-X was merged into Airport surveillance and broadcast systems on 5 September 2022. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

The content of Airport Movement Area Safety System was merged into Airport surveillance and broadcast systems on 5 September 2022. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Due to the similarities between pages ASSC & its direct predecessors ASDE-X, Airport Movement Area Safety System, (and potentially, other stub pages like surface movement radar), I propose a merger and consolidation of these topics into one main page on the subject of airport surveillance/broadcast systems (or another name, if more suitable).

Consolidation will solve a couple issues:

• Unnecessary compartmentalization of one topic (airport surveillance/broadcast systems) into multiple pages which may be not be obvious to a user who only finds one of the existing pages.
• Duplicated information on each page due to ASSC & ASDE-X being nearly-identical stubs with only minor differences in content.
• More streamlined referencing of this technology on other pages like ADS-B and Runway Status Lights

Comment Feels like Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System might also be related. There's probably quite a few start class and stub articles out there that could be consolidated but I don't feel qualified enough to understand the most appropriate way to group them by notable topics. Almost everything in the Template:Air traffic control except the Air traffic control article itself looks like it could use review for possible merging as well.
