List of military aircraft by era

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

wikipedia is not a random collection of lists, encyclopedic value of list is not clear and aircraft by era is covered by the categorisation system and individual lists by country. Also most major conflicts are covered by categories or list article also run into npov problems with era naming (most of the world did not fight in Korea or Vietnam) Could end up being a long and rambling list with little value.

Delete - agree with your assessment. The number of military aircraft in use by major nations for any of the conflicts in this list will make for a very long list. GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - If completed this list would be enormously long and of little use to any reader. It is a far too indiscriminate a classification to be of use. - Ahunt (talk) 13:01, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per above, noting the overuse of flags Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 14:17, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I like the flags, personally, however I agree that a subject so broad isn't good material for a list. Categories, and the lists by country/service, that we have, are sufficent. - The Bushranger (talk) 17:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is redundant to other Lists of Aircraft and the existing categorisation system.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete What, no American Civil War? Seriously, I agree that this is a poorly organized list with almost no information beyond a list of blue links and flags. Mandsford (talk) 15:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as this entirely novel list topic contravene the prohibition on original research. As far as I can see, this list, or anything like it, has not be been published anywhere except within Wikipedia, so there is no evidence that it is verifiable, let alone notable. To demonstrate that this topic was not created out of thin air, a verifiable definition is needed to comply with content policy. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 07:58, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
