[edit] Asia Miles

Asia Miles (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It appears to me that this article is in violation of WP:NOT#INFO, in addition to WP:V, as I can't find reliable, third party sources which give this FFP notability in an encyclopaedic context. It should be noted that the tendency is for airline articles to mention these FFP in the main article, rather than a stand alone 'travel guidish' article on programs which aren't notable on their own.

  • Comment Asia Miles is a pretty popular frequent flyer program, however, a brief Google search only reveals sources that mostly talk about how customers can earn points with the program. A lot of travel-related businesses seem to participate in the program, but I'm not sure if notability is established here in the lack of better sources. Regardless, the article does need to be improved so that it is more encyclopedic. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 17:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as lack of context makes this look like a PR exercise that fails WP:SPAM. Like the article Air Miles, the article does not disclose what the value of Asia Miles are and why people should collect them, which is precisely what the promoters don't want you to know. --Gavin Collins 14:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep program is huge in Asia. What does it matter if you don't know what the promoters are using the points for?? That has nothing to do with the article. --Thankyoubaby 06:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment It matters not if the program is huge or not, AAdvantage is a MASSIVE FFP, yet it is inline on the main American Airlines article, as are all other MASSIVE FFP of US and European and other airlines, with a few exceptions. There are no reliable, non-trivial sources provided in the article which would provide Asia Miles notability within the context of an encyclopaedia, and none which can be found or have been provided to establish any degree of notability. --Russavia 02:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
