Duplication of "current inventory" table with Moldovan Air Force
I just noticed that aircraft inventory table of Air Force section on this page is duplication of Moldovan Air Force.

My proposal are :
 * 1) remove aircraft inventory table on this page or on Moldovan Air Force. pick one of those pages and redirect the existing page to the other page. This is the easiest solution. however if we look up WP:REDUNDANTFORK, the more recent article should be merged into the main article, whereas Moldovan Air Force created in 2006 and this article is created in 2023.
 * 2) or make a template page and use that template on this page and the other page. you will only need to change the template if the content needs to be updated. For example see Irish Air Corps and List of aircraft of the Irish Air Corps, both pages use Template:Active Irish Air Corps Aircraft. Ckfasdf (talk) 10:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)


 * If you look at the views of both pages, you will notice that the list article gets more views than the main Air Force article (|Moldovan_Air_Force), so it is evident that this article is seen more often than the Air Force one. And since the Moldovan Air Force doesn't have a long list of aircraft, both lists can be kept and edited to match. Alin2808 (talk) 22:18, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It's true that the list article is attracting more page views, and the short list of inventory aircraft might make it possible to keep duplicate content. However, this still doesn't resolve the duplication issue as outlined in WP:REDUNDANTFORK. If we compare both aircraft inventory tables, we find that they show different information for the exact same topics. Ideally, both tables should display the same information. This inconsistency is exactly what we are trying to avoid by eliminating duplicate content. Therefore, I suggest to follows Wikipedia's guidelines to maintain content quality and prevent unnecessary redundancy. Ckfasdf (talk) 06:42, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Currently the tables don't show the same information because the one on the Moldovan Air Force article was recently updated. I chose to not update this list because of the ongoing discussion here. I would update it after finishing this discussion. Alin2808 (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Given that the Moldovan Air Force article was recently updated, it appears that the aircraft inventory table in that article is more well-maintained compared to this list. Therefore, I prefer to keep the inventory table within that article, particularly since inventory tables are commonly included in air force articles.
 * Please also note that there was a consensus not to include photos in the aircraft inventory table. One of the reasons for this consensus is that the photos displayed do not depict aircraft belonging to that specific air force, as is the case with the An-2 and An-26 shown on this list.

 * Alright, the list can be kept on the Moldovan Air Force article only since this list doesn't add anything here as the images do not represent actual Moldovan aircraft. I'm guessing the air defences should be moved too. Alin2808 (talk) 00:08, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your understanding. The air defense inventory table can be moved as well. However, unlike the aircraft inventory table, it is actually uncommon to include the air defense inventory table in air force articles. Ckfasdf (talk) 13:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
