Talk:Fourth-generation fighter

message: Shouldn't some of the su-27 family of aircraft receive their own comparison table rows? I'm aware some variants are not very divergent from the original air frame, but some make indisputable upgrades to either the engines or fuselage modifications that they are distinct enough from the original, much how the super hornet or the strike eagle are their own aircraft.

text: This WikiProject discussion agreed to cut all such lists back, unless they were agreed and verifiable. This is not the case here. Moreover, these lists are hopelessly corrupted with flags and other rubbish. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

text: I've chopped the table as an arbitrary comparison since many different types of "fighter" compared and the "4th Gen" status uncertain. That leaves a list of aircraft which need to have their Fourth-generation-ness confirmed by reliable sources. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:37, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

If you wish to add national flags, then you need to overturn the community consensus at MOS:FLAGS and, following that, the project consensus at WP:AVILIST. The place to open that discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Icons. The community can then discuss your request and review its decision. We here are powerless to make that change.

thread_title:  Lists of types 

message: The remaining lists are unsourced. As explained (and sourced) in the Jet fighter generations article there are no universally agreed criteria for 4th and 4.5 generation types, with different sources giving different examples and sometimes contradicting each other. What justification can there be for keeping lists which can never be verified? Would it not be better to focus on the important examples which can be verified, and not try to listify them? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 21:38, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
