Fail to be convinced that this is 1. Notable. 2. Accurate. 3. Not WP:OR. Also note the mini project discussion. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:09, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - This article is somewhat a hoax, also it is filled with OR. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 23:16, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Only reference from a reliable source I could find for the term "micro-airline" is [1], which uses the term to describe something else. I'm not convinced that the term is not a neologism. The concept described in the article matches the second business model described in the article regional airline, and the definition is applied to the term "commuter airline". Also note that this is a contested PROD. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 15:05, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not a common term probably made up. MilborneOne (talk) 19:29, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Appears to be at best a Neologism - virtually nothing on Micro-airlines or Micro airline on Google, and I could find nothing on Google scholar or Google News.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Nothing on Yahoo! searches either. SwisterTwister talk 02:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete probably a hoax, at best something that someone has made up and is trying to get to stick. I have been involved with aviation my entire life (my father was a pilot) and have worked for two companies that would fit the definition given in the article, and I have never heard the term until this article popped up. There is another RS that uses the term here, but the usage there is to describe something else completely different; subscription-based flights in small executive-configured aircraft between major cities - kind of a Netjets shuttle I suppose.

Delete No references. "The sector is not represented by any industry body, such as IATA or regional airline associations, and therefore exists below proper oversight and legislation." This shows that it has no representation in third parties. How is this going to be proven to exist?Curb Chain (talk) 05:40, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
