Category:Nose-mounted intake jet fighter

Wikipedian2024 created Category:Nose-mounted intake jet fighter earlier today. I'm not sure that categories for fighter aircraft based on the placement of jet engine intakes is particularly useful, and is probably a bit too narrow in scope for a Wikipedia category. Thoughts? - ZLEA _T\^C 22:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

It is also barely comprehensible as a term. Intakes aren't 'mounted'. An intake is a hole to let the air in... AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

More technically known as a pitot intake. Categories without parent articles are in trouble from day 1. It's over-categorisation per WP:TRIVIALCAT. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 10:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

What Nimbus said. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 12:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I reminds me of the category "pink-spotted twin-engined biplanes" (or something similar) that was once proposed - in joke, I assume. These "categories" never made much sense to me, anyway, but of course to each their own. Jan olieslagers (talk) 13:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I think it was biplane tractors with unicorn sprinkles. I have nominated the category for deletion, linking to this discussion but feel free to comment there (or thereabouts). The creator should be aware as they were pinged at the top of this discussion and should also be watching the category. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 14:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

My consent/support was added. And yes, your memory is obviously stronger than mine :). Cheers! Jan olieslagers (talk) 14:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

The category has just been deleted (2 April), the discussion was closed as delete over two weeks ago and the category must have been in some hidden backlog pile waiting for deletion. To get it deleted I had to add a speedy template that linked to the closed deletion discussion, crazy! Just for info if we have to nominate other categories, the system is not intuitive (to me at least!). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 13:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Boeing controversies section

There is currently a discussion at Talk:Boeing#Intrigue/Conspiracies Section about the possible addition of a "Controversies" section to the article. This is primarily a response to the death of John Barnett (whistleblower) and other recent Boeing controversies, as well as a conspiracy theory that seems to be getting some attention. - ZLEA _T\^C 05:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
