The article fails to meet the guidelines of WP:ORG. I doubt the airline was notable for only having one plane and there seems no evidence that it was notable for anything else. Articles for organizations need more that the fact they existed to be encyclopaedic. Fæ (talk) 11:43, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Probably. I reserve the right to change my mind completely. This is a strange one, as the article as-nominated was about a failed airline with no coverage. Looking around the net for sources, however, I'm finding quite a bit of coverage. This and this look like enough to justify retention under WP:CORP to me. But I can't find a single source to suggest that they had their license revoked as claimed in the article, so I've removed that bit for now. If anyone can find a source that knows better, please readd it. Alzarian16 (talk) 17:30, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the exact same reason as the user above me.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for commenting, could you explain how these sources demonstrate the significant impact on the historic record that the CORP guidelines require? These sources appear to show the airline existed but little more. Fæ (talk) 19:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hi, I hope you dont see this as a "anti-Fæ" sort of move, its not because that you made it that I answer to this certain Afd. But I dohonestly think that the airlines official site in itself is reasons enough to keep.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the sources linked above and these: [1][2][3]. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:24, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep numerable in-depth sources that meet the criteria outlined in WP:CORP. Arsenikk ^(talk) 15:13, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
