I wonder about the criteria for inclusion in this template. At the moment, the main criterion seems to be that there is or was a paved runway, no matter if it is a large or a small field or whether it is civil or military. However, with consistent maintenance, the defunct list would then become about as long as the other lists combined. Not sure if such a focus on the past was intended when the template was created.

Just noticed that Airports in Germany template doesn't contain Bad Gandersheim airport, but that it is mentioned on the List of airports in Germany. Sorry about my not paying proper attention ! There seems to be a convention amongst all countries that the former template type (e.g. Airports in Germany) contains just airports with an IATA code or has / recently had passenger service or is in some way particularly notable, while the latter template type (e.g. List of airports in Germany) contains additionally a longer list of airfields and aerodromes, each having just a very brief mention. Perhaps we should leave it as is... one template showing just the more important airports/aerodromes... while the other is a more complete list of airstrips in each country ? It would perhaps be a shame to remove likely accurate information from List of airports in Germany, along with other countries, when it has been compiled by numerous people over the years. I agree that the term 'airport' is maybe overused on List of airports in Germany but rather difficult to decide what is an airport, air field, aerodrome or air strip as mentioned by Uli Eich.
