Nesterov assault rifle → Light assault rifle programme (USSR) – The article mentions assault rifles from the Light assault rifle programme (including those not created by Nesterov). [1] 85.113.197.170 (talk) 11:15, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose highly generic title, several countries had light assault rifle programs. -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 03:34, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're not confusing a light assault rifle with a carbine by any chance? This was a programm to decrease weight of a primary rifle (AKM was rather bulky in comparison with the primary rifle of the potential enemy). 85.113.197.170 (talk) 07:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not. I mean the various programs and commercial projects to reduce the cartridge size of the assault rifle, resulting in smaller lighter rifles as well, which are still not carbines since they're not cut down. -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 10:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Amended proposal to Light assault rifle programme (USSR). 85.113.197.170 (talk) 09:46, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about programme or program, but the USSR disambig should work. The question is what the WP:COMMONNAME was for this program (if any). If it is strongly associated with Nesterov it may need to retain the name in the title. Peacemaker67 (talk) 11:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the content that discusses assault rifles not manufactured by Nesterov should simply be spun out or removed. Changing the title from a firearm to a program(me) logically would demand a change in scope^(pun?) as well. --BDD (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose;
natural disambiguation is preferred to making up our own disambiguating suffixes. bobrayner (talk) 15:53, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply
