Lost luggage (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

  • Keep. This article could use some work, but it is a fairly decent introduction to a common phenomenon. - SimonP 19:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Not exactly sure how this could be improved, but it seems like a decent start on a fairly common topic. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 19:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a notable subject, article needs work, but I say keep it. Useight 20:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Notable as in "it happens a lot", but not necessarily WP:N. Do we need an article to tells us what lost luggage is and how it happens? Adrian M. H. 21:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes. As well as telling readers about lost luggage insurance (ISBN 0764567470 page 21) approaches that airlines take to identifying and eliminating the causes of lost luggage (ISBN 0071387552 page 102) and lost luggage offices (Sir Francis Bond Head (1849). "Lost Luggage Office", Stokers and Pokers; Or, The London and North-Western Railway, the Electric Telegraph, and the …. London: John Murray, 53–55. ). Uncle G 10:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Useight. JJL 23:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Question would this perhaps be better treated as part of a larger subject on luggage and airplane travel? FrozenPurpleCube 00:23, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, but I like FrozenPurpleCube's suggestion as well. Everything from baggage inspection to luggage locks to employee theft to bomb containment technology is potentially of value in a broader article. Added a mention of the Unclaimed Baggage Center. --Dhartung | Talk 04:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • The subject has been the subject of non-trivial coverage in multiple published works (see above, for starters). The PNC is thus satisfied. Keep. Uncle G 10:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Describes an economically important problem. Kla'quot 06:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
