[edit] Singapore Airlines Cargo destinations
SIA Cargo has a very limited network of its own, and could easily be covered in the Singapore Airlines Cargo article. The very nature of the airline industry dictates that on most passenger aircraft they will carry cargo. Aeroflot Cargo is a separate entity from Aeroflot, just like SIA, but to claim that the entity known as Aeroflot Cargo services all of the mainline Aeroflot destinations is misleading. The same goes for SIA Cargo. The list of destinations can easily be incorporated into Singapore Airlines Cargo and/or Singapore Airlines destinations Russavia 09:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe I'm in favor of keeping because we have so many other articles in Category:Airline destinations. Wikipedia tends to split off the destinations from the service, so even if the article is somewhat redundant, it does no harm to leave it alone. YechielMan 14:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: (1) WP is not company's website, (2) there no other information that just a list of airports, (3) who is going to maintain it, (4) bad precedent. Pavel Vozenilek 22:11, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Please kindly explain why this article should be a "bad precedent", unless it predates the other 210 articles in Category:Airline destinations?--Huaiwei 17:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep Only 3 months ago, a decision was made to keep this and other articles. [[1]] (see list in that link).VK35 23:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep notable topic. --Vsion 02:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment If one looks at the article, one would notice that some destinations such as Nairobi have "cargo only" written after it. Seeing as this is an article for Singapore Airlines Cargo that Nairobi would be a cargo only destination is correct, and doesn't need the added notation. If not delete and incorporate into Singapore Airlines Cargo or Singapore Airlines destinations, the article needs to be cleaned up. Living in a city which is on the mainline SIA network, I can attest that we do not have service from Singapore Airlines Cargo. As mentioned above by myself, just because a given destination is on the network of a mainline passenger airline does not mean that the cargo airline also serves that destination. Case in point, I can attest that Aeroflot Cargo has never touched down in Murmansk or Tyumen or Sochi, although Aeroflot does in fact touch down in all of those cities, and does carry freight on said flights, and freight can be carried to those destinations using a service called Aeroflot Cargo (the cargo product name, not the airline name). The article also is not correct, given that the inbox on Singapore Airlines Cargo states 15 destinations, yet Singapore Airlines Cargo destinations looks more like a carbon copy of Singapore Airlines destinations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Russavia (talk • contribs) 05:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC).
- Comment If you are aware that there are factual errors, and you have the relevant sources to back that up, than you are most welcome to amend the list. Flagging the entire article for deletion just because of a few errors isnt exactly the only option available to set things right. Also, please avoid directly comparing one entity with another, for they are not neccesarily operated or incorporated in the same way. Singapore Airlines Cargo is a fully-owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines. The cargo divisions of other airlines are not neccesarily subsidiaries, and often do not have distinct articles for this reason.--Huaiwei 06:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
