[edit] Fly Asian Xpress

Notability/importance in question. Article exists only as a flight list for a brand new regional airline that appears to have just started flying August 1, 2006. ghits:[1] — NMChico24 04:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Soon, it is a small flight company but it will grow, so it's better to improve it (rather than delete it)as it grows. FAX deserves to have it's own wikipage.--Zack2007 09:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - article may need some cleanup, but your own google search shows coverage by multiple independant sources. Meets WP:CORP. --Daniel Olsen 04:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless it can be turned into an article rather than a flight list, which given its short history would probably be difficult. It is an awfully small airline, though, so an article may not even be worthwhile. Creating an article on the parent company and having this page as a redirect might be better. -- Kjkolb 06:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Fails WP:CORP for lacking multiple non-trivial articles by third parties. Only 148 distinct Google hits for "fly asian xpress", most of which are flight listings and press releases announcing the start of a new airline, which by coincidence makes this article look like part of a PR campaign. Newness of the firm also brings into question violation of "WP is not a newspaper". Tychocat 10:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, per the article, several of them are non-trivial and definitely not re-prints of press releases. Uncle G 14:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Uncle G, verifiable and of national significance. All suburban routes and planes are purposely ceded to FAX [2] from the national airline Malaysia Airlines as the latter found them so unprofitable to operate. The operator, AirAsia is one of the biggest budget airlines in Asia. - Mailer Diablo 15:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per UncleG. Passes WP:CORP with verifiable articles. the fact that the article could be better is not a reason for deletion, but a reason to improve the article. -- Whpq 17:20, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Passes WP:CORP, simple as that. Batmanand | Talk 20:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep In all honesty, there really can't be an airline corporation that isn't notable, due to their necessary cashflow and size. (Unless the airline consists of only small planes) AdamBiswanger1 22:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. non-fictional airline --Vsion 04:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. -Kmaguir1 05:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets WP:CORP criteria and is part of AirAsia one of Asia's largest budget carriers. Standard of article is not a good reason for nominating it here. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 06:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
