Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... Someone else created this draft article, and it is still being worked on my User:Urban Versis 32 --Nothosaurus (talk) 22:51, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian

Information on company
Maybe we could redirect the currently-redlinked article on the company, Aero Dynamics Limited, to this page because the Sparrow Hawk was the only aircraft they ever made? Urban Versis 32 (talk) 03:35, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

"Was" or "Is"?
In the article, should we refer to the Sparrow Hawk as "was" or "is"? Urban Versis 32 (talk) 22:54, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * N23SH still exists as a museum aircraft. WP:AIRTENSE states that "The first sentence should be in present tense if any aircraft still exist, whether flyable or not, even if they are only in museums."  Therefore, we should use "is". -  ZLEA  T \ C 23:17, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Stub
The article is upwards of 180 words long. Should that mean that, with the topic of the article in mind, the stub tag should be removed? Urban Versis 32 (talk) 02:37, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

 * No problem. I was asked to look at the article by User:BilCat and realized it only needed a bit of work to be ready for mainspace, so did all that today and moved it. - Ahunt (talk) 02:06, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
