No hits. None whatsoever. Possible hoax. asenine say what? 11:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. No evidence that the subject even exists. I could not find any references to the supposed 2005 plane crash either. In any case, Fails WP:N. The creator keeps removing the AfD tag from the article. Nsk92 (talk) 11:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No evidence to support. If deleted, please also remove from List of airlines of the People's Republic of China. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 12:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Since the author has begun blanking the page, shouldn't someone stick a {{db-author}} tag on the article instead of reverting to restore the text? Deor (talk) 12:24, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I am not sure about this. As a point of information, the article's creator has been blocked for 31 hours[1]. Whether or not {{db-author}} is appropriate here, it seems to me that a speedy close for this AfD might be in order anyway. Nsk92 (talk) 15:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - appears to be a hoax, but if the author blanks the lot then as Deor says do the speedy. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per Deor. --Justpassin (talk) 15:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as {{db-author}}. The author did blank the page just before he was blocked. By the way, the Chinese name shown on this page translates, according to Babelfish, as "Chinese New China Aviation", with no reference to chewing gum. The name was probably just copied from China Xinhua Airlines as part of the hoax. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP This article has historical importance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattbroon (talk • contribs) 16:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
