Deletion of List of aircraft by tail number

Comment: Tail numbers are quite logical as IDs for people interested in aircraft; that's why the numbers are marked on the aircraft, rather like the way that ships have names.  The list seems useful for navigation and generic search functions would not be so good as the tail numbers can be quite ordinary numbers, such as 101, which don't make good search keywords.  As for the amount of work, that is a reason to keep this around.  All that deletion does is make the list viewable by admins only and how does that help anyone?  If we felt there was a better structure for this sort of data then there are more sensible |alternatives to deletion, such as making it a draft, which wouldn't be so disruptive
