[edit] Airlines in films

Airlines in films (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is in violation of WP:NOT#INFO whose only criteria for inclusion is the appearance of an airline, for even a single second (such as Aeroflot in Bourne Supremacy), in film, music video, etc. Russavia 22:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as unmanagably huge. A list of movies wherein the main setting is an airline or airplane would be okay. SolidPlaid 22:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Listcruft. Too long to maintain. ffm 23:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; WP:NOT#IINFO, unsourced (are we supposed to rent every film just to verify this information?), and essentially an online plane-spotters blog, every time someone sees an airline in a movie they are watching add it to Wikipedia. Masaruemoto 01:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Someone went to a lot of trouble on this, but Russavia says it best... it's a list of an airplane from a particular airline being seen in a film. One might as well make a list of the different types of cereals that are glimpsed on film, such as a box of Cheerios on the table in Words and Music. Mandsford 02:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment Be careful with any 'one might as well make a list of....' arguments, as it can often backfire with funny results, which I present you with the one might as well write an article about Cheeses in popular culture arguments. --Russavia 04:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• Gosh, I'd forgotten about the debate on Helicopters in popular culture, the one where Benevolent Administrator Wafulz proved the adage that "AfD is not a vote". This is somewhat different. I can recognize a box of Cheerios or a United Air Lines plane without someone telling me what it is. Mandsford 11:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Wow, they even included the "plane on a stick" in Wayne's World as an airline in a film. That's pretty solid evidence of a completely indiscrimite list. --UsaSatsui 03:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment Liked your Flying High comment. Kinda makes me also think why Ekipazh isn't mentioned under Aeroflot. And another movie, Nochnoy Dozor could be listed under Aeroflot, however, this would go against the prose which sort of insinuates that airlines pay to appear in movies, when Aeroflot threatened to sue those behind the movie claiming infringement of their copyright. Totally irrelevant to this Afd, but does show the 'what about Airline ***, better add it to the list' way these lists operate. --Russavia 04:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Nicely put together and organized with the table and so provides a convenient reference for anyone researching the topic. I'll also do a quick search to see if there are references as well. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:LC points 1 through 4. Stifle (talk) 20:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
