From VfD:

One site hit for "Airplane graffiti", and it leads to a news article[1] about a guy arrested for painting graffiti on a military plane, that does NOT use this term. Either non-notable or unverifiable. Some hits for "Jet graffiti", but they all seem to be related to a video game. Niteowlneils 01:56, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Well, non-notable. But I definitely remember seeing pictures of graffiti scrawled on bombs during the bombing of Iraq in about 1998/1999. Airmen annoyed at being away from their families wrote messages like 'Merry Christmas Saddam' and 'This one's for my little girl'. But even that's pretty non-notable. So Delete.

• LegalizeIt This entry is mainly talking about graffiti on commerical airliners. I based this entry on what relatives and friends who work in airports tell me. There is also a discussion on this, with a photo, at *[2]. Perhaps the term used is not well-known, but it was the best I could come up with.

• Delete. Not that it isn't an issue, but that it's non-notable. — [[User:33451|Mr. Grinch (Talk)]] 18:46, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Keep! After checking the link provided above, there's even photographic evidence. ;-) Are some of those pictures under GFDL? Kim Bruning 18:51, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Delete. There's real graffiti, then there's tagging. This is tagging. When airplane graffiti gets as good as railcar graffiti, give me a shout - I collect that shit. Denni☯ 22:11, 2004 Aug 30 (UTC)

• Delete Real or not, it's non notable. -TheFed 00:19, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. I learnt something by reading this article. Even if it is only trivia it's informative and deserves inclusion. Trilobite (Talk) 02:31, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Interesting and notable enough for aviation-minded people like myself. I agree that the title is not the best, but can't come with a constructive suggestion of a good alternative. BACbKA 10:39, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Keep - real phenomenon. Widespread enough to be notable - despite the fact that it's not generally visible to the travelling public. --Rlandmann 00:48, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Obviously notable. ··gracefool |☺ 10:19, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Merge with graffiti. anthony (see warning) 14:29, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Interesting. Fuelbottle | Talk 21:12, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Keep, provided it actually exists and is a real phenomenon. -spencer195 21:40, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Non-notable? Who gives a hoot - it's Wikipedia (are we about to run out of servers or something)! It's not nonsense, so just don't read it if you don't like it! zoney ▓   ▒ talk 00:26, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge into graffiti?

This is cool (and I've added a source for the "hijack this fags" bomb) but shouldn't it be a section of the main graffiti article, like subway train tagging? Moyabrit 11:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
