Inclusion
[edit]What is the inclusion criteria here? We have a many, many missing, like Murphy Aircraft, Blue Yonder Aviation, Ultraflight Lazair, Bushcaddy, etc. - Ahunt (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- I was steering clear of homebuilts as then things get very murky - and I am sure there are probably at least as many possible entries, especially when a few minor changes and someone claims it as their own design. Additional nav boxes might be in order for them. Did any of those companies offer completed aircraft for customers?
- Perhaps "Organizations or people responsible for mass production of complete aircraft, and those aircraft that they completed, including prototypes." - NiD.29 (talk) 04:26, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Well that is kind of the issue, Murphy Aircraft, Blue Yonder Aviation and Bushcaddy (along with a number of others) all sold completed, mass-produced aircraft, as well as kits. I was thinking your navbox here is really aimed at certified aircraft. - Ahunt (talk) 04:43, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- No reason why they shouldn't be included - the Murphy Moose seemed close to being certified/mass produced when I saw one a few years ago, but I don't have good information on those that were sold in complete form (excepting sole examples built). Inspiration for this navbox came from a photo at the Montreal Aviation Museum of a selection of aircraft being built in Canada during a wartime royal visit. While I knew each type had been built here, it got me thinking about how the extent of the aviation industry in Canada usually flies under the radar, and a navbox seemed to be the perfect means to tie them together - especially to those with few connections elsewhere. I had noticed other countries (albeit with more limited aviation industries) with similar navboxes, although I didn't expect it to be as large as it is even now - and I realize there are more additions to be made. - NiD.29 (talk) 06:34, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, I will add them then and let's see what it looks like then, whether adjustments are needed. - Ahunt (talk) 15:45, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Done, although I probably missed some. - Ahunt (talk) 17:13, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. - NiD.29 (talk) 05:27, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- I think this box is now to the point where it is too large to be useful and we are still probably missing more entries. Perhaps it should be converted to a category instead? - Ahunt (talk) 13:17, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- Or split between homebuilts and factory-built aircraft? - NiD.29 (talk) 19:36, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
- That would make some sense to do it that way, or more precisely certified/non-certified. - Ahunt (talk) 22:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

- Looks better. One technicality, the military aircraft are mostly not certified (Avro 504, Arrow, etc) - Ahunt (talk) 03:21, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hence why I hadn't used the word on the current page. - NiD.29 (talk) 05:31, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
