 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep per WP:SNOW. The article needs work and a rename isn't out of the question, but it's pretty clear where consensus is with this. Non-admin closure. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:56, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

List of surviving F-4 Phantom IIs

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

WP:NOTDIRECTORY - this is simply a directory of museums (and displays) of static displayed F-4's and the F-4's on display. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 20:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: I have added a notice of this discussion to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft - Ahunt (talk) 21:00, 21 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article is a split-off section of McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II and as such complies with the consensus guidelines on these sections at WikiProject_Aircraft/page_content. Furthermore it has been the subject of discussion on renaming recently at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aircraft and also Talk:List_of_surviving_F-4_Phantom_IIs where the consensus was that the article should be retained, but renamed to F-4 Phantom IIs on display to better reflect the WikiProject Aircraft guidelines on naming. - Ahunt (talk) 21:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as Wikipedia is not a directory and Wikipedia is not guidebook where you can see something. No encyclopedia value. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  21:11, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * STRONG KEEP This article was the subject of considerable interest in the past and had been situated in the host article, McDonnell F-4 Phantom II and this was the compromise decision arrived at by consensus with the aviation group. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article is not a directory. Probably should be renamed to "List of F-4 Phantom IIs on display" though. -Fnlayson (talk) 21:26, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Rename - to reflect content. GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per Fnlayson. - BilCat (talk) 21:34, 21 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:SIZE, the list is too large to accommodate in the parent article, therefore it should remain as a stand-alone list. Mjroots (talk) 21:57, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I did not suggest that this should be merged/restored into the main article. It is listed for deletion. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - you misunderstand me. There is no way this is going to get deleted. At best, it would be merged, but that is not going to happen on size grounds, so therefore it should remain as a stand-alone list. Mjroots (talk) 19:59, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - per above and agree with rename suggestion as discussed at length in the project for all articles of this type. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by)    23:03, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:SNOWBALL- this is going nowhere and should be stopped now. Bzuk (talk) 23:37, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Ahunt. -SidewinderX (talk) 00:14, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per everbody else who has said keep. Could do with some more referencing and a tidy up but that is no reason for deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 12:02, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - but a remane is a good idea. I think Fnlayson name idea works Mlpearc   powwow  13:24, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
