[edit] Ledenair (2nd nomination)

Ledenair (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

In August 2007, I nominated this article for deletion as a hoax and it was deleted as such. Checking back through some old contributions, I noticed today that it had been recreated. It appears to be another hoax airline article, although IIRC, different enough that it can't be nominated under WP:CSD#G4. So, once again:

• No results for "Ledenair" at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, supposedly this airline's base.
• LJLA doesn't fly to Orlando International Airport, this airline's apparent main destination. In fact, it doesn't seem to do long-haul flights at all, (not unreasonably for a regional airport). Actually, LJLA doesn't fly to any of the destinations named in the article.
• The website doesn't exist. And has likely never existed.
• Nothing on the Civil Aviation Authority's site, with which this airline would be registered.
• The only review of this airline is by someone with a remarkably similar name to the airline's "President"
• The same person discussing fantasy airlines on a web forum (NB. Some of these links are the same as in the first deletion nom)
• 29 results for "Ledenair" on Google. Zero of them giving any opportunity to purchase a flight or information about the company
• Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports#Ledenair Concern about possible hoax noted at WP:Airports
• Unfortunately, this hoax appears to have spread to at least one other wiki. Kateshortforbob 16:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - hoax. Good research! JohnCD (talk) 16:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral - It is mentioned numerous times at FlightReviewCentre.com - Highfields (talk) (contribs) 16:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• Forgive me for disagreeing, but of the seven hits on the site, one is to the search page, 1 is to a list of airlines, 4 are to mentions of the single review mentioned above, and the 7th is to that review.--Kateshortforbob 16:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
• The only flight review I can find for Ledenair on FlightReviewCenter.com is a flight from Heathrow to Atlanta, with the improbable flight number of "0". This is not one of the routes listed in the article, which says the airline only operates from Liverpool. I suspect that anyone can post on FlightReviewCenter.com - I doubt if it is a reliable source. JohnCD (talk) 17:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete G3 The nominator's evidence makes it quite obvious that this is indeed a hoaxalicious™ airline. So tagged. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
