There is no "MiG 42 Foxglove." The article references a speculative website dating to 1997, not a reliable source. The aircraft in question is probably what became the Mikoyan Project 1.44. At best, it's a redirect. Contested PROD. Acroterion (talk) 00:40, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Might it be "in-universe" writing for the game Ninjas_and_Superspies? [1] Gigs (talk) 01:17, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Conceivably so. Acroterion (talk) 01:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- However, based on my conversations with the editor who created it, I believe he's sincerely convinced it's a real airplane. Acroterion (talk)
- Delete - per nom. If it is from a game, there's no need for a whole article on a fictional aircraft from a minor game. - BillCJ (talk) 03:32, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment yes but we have Fictional military aircraft which can easily be the target of a redirect. ZabMilenko 06:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That has nothing to do with my point. - BillCJ (talk) 06:28, 28 May 2009 (UTC)THat can be the result of an AFD to Delete an article. To this point, there is not really much worth keeping in the existing article that one well-wirrten sentece would not cover, and it could be written entirely without consulting the article's poorly-written text, thus the article does not need to be kept in history for GNFU purposes. - BillCJ (talk) 07:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as totally in-universe. Majoreditor (talk) 03:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (for now) Per this link at http://www.military.cz/russia/air/mig/Mig-42/mig-42.htm. More research is needed.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 05:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The link at the bottom of that page under Zdroje (Czech for "Resources") goes to a "Ninja & Superspies" site. It's a fictional aircraft - no modern combat aircraft is capable of Mach 5! - BillCJ (talk) 05:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge somewhere close to Fictional_military_aircraft#MiG-37 if notability can be established, otherwise delete. For the record, I should mention this. If the fictional craft appeared in two different games (Jetfighter 1998 and Ninjas and Superspies 1988) that might be enough for a paragraph in the list. ZabMilenko 06:03, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete not real or notable. MilborneOne (talk) 11:49, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - neither ref cited links to an existing webpage, no evidence that such an aircraft exists, suspect a fictional game aircraft or a hoax. - Ahunt (talk) 13:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: A non-notable fictional aircraft developed for the game Ninja & Spies. Most MiG-42 hits (including Kitsune's) direct back to Kitsune's MiG-41 page. Askari Mark (Talk) 14:00, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
