Deletion of List of countries by number of airports

Comment: raw number of airports/heliports is an absurd and irrelevant statistic; and the fact that it's extracted from a single source leads me to believe that it also fails #DIRECTORY

Comment: Thus far it seems like I'm in the minority, but let's interject policy here like . It seems to pass all criteria laid out there as much as I understand it. Plus, look at this

Comment: Well, OK, delete the list'''. And the heliports list too. Anyway I couldn't believe that United States have so many airports under any definition, while other large countries have too much less.Hm, I was too fast on approving the deletion of the articles created by myself. After some consideration and reading the comments, I need to clarify my position in this way: I believe the lists in question pass  and can be quite usable and encyclopedic, just like other Lists of countries. We need some aviation-related list on :Template:Transport country lists. However, though in most cases CIA provides not bad info, here we have somewhat misleading numbers, in opinion of many people and myself. So I propose either to delete the list by number of aiports, or to '''keep and rework''' it, using  https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2031.html?countryName=&countryCode=&regionCode= Airports - with unpaved runways and https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2030.html?countryName=&countryCode=&regionCode= Airports - with paved runways or perhaps some non-CIA data if there is any
