  • Comment - If the image is fine but the values are wrong would replacing with an updated version be suitable? It would be easy to edit. If it is deemed necessary the proportions could be confirmed or adjusted too, but a quick check suggest the values are not that far out so I suspect the image itself is still sufficiently accurate. Other than the inaccuracies I like the diagram - Wolftick (talk) 18:32, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per nom. Including the Spruce Goose (a one-off eccentricity from the 1940s which only flew a small number of times) alongside aircraft which entered series production or have had lengthy careers is also problematic. Nick-D (talk) 01:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've now updated the values and visual dimensions of the diagram according to [1][2][3][4]. Suggest either Delist and Replace or update original as new version. Diagram now fulfils WP:WIAFP#6 which was original reason for delist. I don't think the merits of the H-4 being included is in the scope of this nomination. - Wolftick (talk) 16:47, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Have also taken the opportunity to update the names per Talk:Antonov is missing which makes sense to me from a consistency point of view. Also removed the Intercontinental/I suffixes from the 747-8 as the only two versions are 747-8I and 747-8F which are identical in size making the distinction superfluous. (nb WiiWillieWiki's comment below was made after this change) - Wolftick (talk) 01:39, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist and Replace per Wolftick's reasons and because of updated information. WiiWillieWiki 04:33, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
