Talk:Adam Aircraft Industries

message: I have just commented out a new section that has been added by an anon.  It relates to a lawsuit against the company.  I can't find anything on Google.  Can anyone substantiate the information?  User:Noisy | Talk 21:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is indeed nothing on Google i can find either.  Without a reference to back it up, we can't include it; and I'd be surprised that it hasn't been publicised if it was indeed true. --Robert Merkel 22:35, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have checked through Avweb, probably the most credible news source on the industry and can't find anything there either. Also Rick Adam is no longer with the company. Lacking any evidence I will deleted this section. - Ahunt (talk) 11:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Claims about a lawsuit

message: I propose that the category "Companies based in Englewood" be replaced with "Companies based in Colorado". I have previously made this edit, but it was quickly reverted by another editor. In a good faith effort to avoid inciting another edit war, I'll simply add "Companies based in Colorado" at this time. Hopefully this action will not be accused of being vandalism or of degrading the article, as my previous edits were. I'm also hopeful that, since it is fairly self-evident that the company is located in Colorado, that this action won't be accused of being original research.
That being said, please consider the following reasons for the category replacement:
1. "Companies based in Englewood" is a "redlined" category. This category has not even been created. 
2. There are at least six unique place names in the United States alone with the name "Englewood". This category is ambiguous.
3. It seems to me that a category "Companies based in XXX" should be reserved for countries, states or major cities. Englewood, Colorado has an employment population of only 23,500. By comparison, nearby Denver has nearly 537,000 jobs - over twenty times that number. Englewood is a rather obscure location to be having its own category for companies based there.
4. This is related to item 3. It seems to me that a category is only useful when there are at least a few dozen articles that can actually be categorized with it. Again, Englewood is hardly a major employment center and only a few articles can be categorized as "Companies based in Englewood". It simply isn't very meaningful or useful to readers.
Finally, regarding this specific article: 
5. Aviation Technology Group uses Englewood, Colorado in its mailing address. However, the company is actually not located in the city; in fact, one must leave the city limits of Englewood and travel several miles through another city (Centennial, Colorado) in order to reach the company's location. Therefore, the category "Companies based in Englewood" is misleading. To correct this, a more suitable name for the category would be "Companies using Englewood in their mailing address". This category, however, would be even more obscure - and overly pedantic.
Faced with the choice of a redlined, ambiguous, obscure, useless and misleading category ("Companies based in Englewood") on the one hand, and a pedantic one on the other ("Companies using Englewood in their mailing address"), it seems the best choice would be to use neither.
"Companies based in Colorado" is an established category, is unmistakeable, is meaningful to readers and has several dozen applicable articles. It should be fully adequate to provide a geographical categorization for this article.

thread_title: Categorization

message: I would suggest that at the point when the new company, AAI Acquisition, makes its certification milestone for the A700 that a separate article be started on that company. If it were spun off before than and fail to produce any aircraft it would remain a small historical footnote, not really worthy of a separate article. - Ahunt (talk) 15:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would also add the same goes for the new owners, Triton Aerospace. They have moved locations and have a new company name, so if they actually produce any aircraft then they should get a new article and this one closed out for history. - 19:59, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
