Z plan or Operation Z

I have been doing a bit of research on this item and have run across differing sources. Some say Operation Z others say Z Plan. However, if you look at the original translated cover from the picture from this article: http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2005/fall/z-plan-1.html you will see the word Operation, and even within that same article it states operation; however that same article predominantly uses the word Plan. I, inadvertently, created the article Operation Z (1944). I feel that the article should be one or the other; however, I am not sure which is the best location for said article. If it was up to me, I would, as I have already done, name the article Operation Z... as this seems to be what the item was referred to during the war. The Project word seems to have come from the author of the piece in Prologue. I will await a discussion before any further action. There is a second problem in that the Prologue piece states different facts regarding Fukudome's arrival in the Philippines, in particular the portion regarding the briefcase/box. My main source was John Toland's The Rising Sun ISBN 978-0394443119. It states vastly different facts. Should both versions be stated with a caveat?

I'm ambivalent about which name to use, but either way the articles should be merged, and the one without content after the merge should redirect to the other article. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 20:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

I agree. There really shouldn't be two articles. If I had to pick I would redirect Z Plan (Japan) to Operation Z (1944) per cited reason. However, but I'm not particularly opposed to it being the other way around.--ARTEST4ECHO (^talk/_contribs) 19:56, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

The discussion has been closed and consensus or lack thereof of opposition has been to merge to Operation Z (1944).speednat (talk) 22:51, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
