scope of category

[edit]

This category should not be applied willy-nilly to all articles linking to the Jet age article, but only to those which have something significant and direct to contribute to its understanding and history. For example the Messerschmitt Bf 109 should definitively NOT be included. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:37, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed a good many articles about WWII piston-powered aircraft; "killed by the jet age" explicitly makes these articles irrelevant, moreover "killed by the advent of jet aircraft" is generally more correct. I have also removed various media and related articles where the topic's contribution to the jet age is negligible or nonexistent. Some topics have marginal relevance, so we are likely to need further discussions on their individual merits from time to time. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 07:52, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jet engines and airliner categories

[edit]

Should this category be a sub-category of Category:Jet airliners and Category:Jet engines or the other way round? At present we have one each way. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:02, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
