Plain and simple, this is not a real organization. The vast majority of the references in this text are either 1.) unrelated to the subject of any military air assets in Kosovo, 2.) SELFPUB that make no direct mention of a "Kosovo Air Force" (and are apparently authored by the editor behind this article), or 3.) are citations to Wikipedia itself. Altogether, this might even qualify as a WP:HOAX. For this reason, I don't see it as a suitable merge/redirect candidate. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Kosovo does not have an independent air force. A Google search of "Forca Ajrore e Kosoves" gives no results confirming that the name is in use, so I think it's safe to say that this is a hoax. - ZLEA _T\^C 00:49, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have sometimes commented on an article that I have seen hoaxes that are better referenced, This is one of them. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Keep anything that is verifiably true and rename to Aviation units of the Kosovo military. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no precedent for this sort of article. There is no verifiable information that suggests that the aviation assets are organized into any independently administered units. Relevant material regarding some aerial assets in the Kosovar military are addressed in Kosovo Security Force. ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would make more sense to split off the entire "Equipment" section if the article became too large, but I'm not sure it's reached that point yet. - ZLEA _T\^C 15:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is correct, no false information and all references are verified! I don’t suggest this article to be deleted! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.179.31.65 (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please give us an example of a reliable source that states that there is a branch of the KSF called the "Kosovo Air Force" or "Forca Ajrore e Kosoves"? Just one source will do. - ZLEA _T\^C 01:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an independent air force doesn't seem to exist, anything equipment acquisitions not already in the can be added to the Kosovo Security Force article. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no reliable sources given and the logo purportedly uploaded by the Defense Ministry appears to be a badly done MS Paint job. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 02:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Also noting that the image for "Batllava Airport" is actually of Toledo Express Airport of Toledo, Ohio and the image for Sllatina Underground Airbase is of "Betset airfield" from Israel, per the commons data. While not reasons for deletion per se, they are further evidence just how little this article is based on reality. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:57, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
