From VfD:

Delete - Dictionary definition, found via Wikipedia:Deadend_pages. No room for expansion that I can see. —Rory ☺ 01:21, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

• Delete: Dictdef. Oh, it could be expanded. In this form, it hasn't been in a coon's age. If it gets built up by the end of VfD, I'll change my vote. ("Maidens flee quite often.") Geogre 12:33, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete for dictdef and oldologism and I hope people don't create articles about all the "Maiden X" terms that mean the earliest occasion of X: maiden voyage, cruise, speech, crop, day, dish, law ... what? Yes, reading from the OED here, sorry. "He but borowyng their woordes, bryngeth it foorthe for a mayden booke" (1555 copyvio template). Bishonen 14:14, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. Dicdef and simply unneccessary. Skyler 01:09, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] List of first flights

This article is linked from a proposed template found on such articles as the F-117 Nighthawk, and thus the article needs more content. I've added a brief list of first flights of various planes. Ultimately, I want the list to cover the first flights of the most famous, most recognizable, most common, or most historic aircraft types. Feel free to make additions, since the current state of the list is just a beginning. Willy Logan 22:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
