I would suggest removing all redlinks in this list-article unless they have an original source associated with them as a reference. Even among those Chinese UAVs for which there already are articles, there are questions about notability. Other perspectives? Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 19:18, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
The following redlinks have been removed. They can be added back in if/when there are articles for them. Regards, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 20:04, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Going by this article's history & stats, it appears that editor XdeLaTorre ( talk), added by far the most content to this list (171 of 187Kb). This same user has had for some time now, a continuously growing list on their own talk page of these same Chinese military and civilian UAV articles, that are being PROD'd, (with a few nom'd for AfD)... a list that with only a few exceptions, is fast approaching 300 deleted titles. (Though I'm pinging them, I'm not sure if they'll respond, as they haven't edited since September, but even by then their editing had steeply dropped off, and they also rarely, if ever, participate on talk pages.)
A while back when I was considering a clean-up of the List of ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy, I became aware of these problematic UAV articles. I just now did a clean up of the handfull of refs on this list and doing a rough count, there appears to be just over 3000 entries (including some duplicates). About 700 have articles, while another 2200+ are red-linked, and just over a 100 aren't linked at all.
All the discussion threads above are from 2013. Among them, is a suggestion to remove the red-linked entries from this list, and store them here for possible future use. It appears this was partially enacted, but I don't know what happened after that. (I'm pinging DASonnenfeld who was the most active editor in those threads at the time.)
Looking through some of the entries that are linked to an article or stub, it appears that many of them are problematic and either require a good deal of improvemnt, or should be deleted. One editor (pinging RovingPersonalityConstruct) is doing a fine job of slowly and purposefully sifting through these titles and tagging them, (while trying not to overwhelm any resources), but it could take a year to go though them all, that's just the current ones noted here, and that's if they're deleted after a week without being contested.
So the purpose of this post is, other than (maybe & hopefully) drawing some wider attention to this issue, is to ask a friendly & helpful admin familiar with all this, (pinging Liz), if perhaps there is another way to deal with this issue a little more expeditiously(?) Thanks in advance (and sorry about the length). Cheers - wolf 13:01, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
