[edit] Virgin America fleet

Virgin America fleet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

lacks notability and, because WP:AIRLINES deemed registrations irrelevant, page also lacks relevance. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 22:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: If you nominate this for deletion, then you are pretty much obliged to nominate every other fleet page for deletion unless you can somehow prove that this page is more worthy of deletion than other fleet pages, which is probably impossible to do. You should also notify WP:AIRLINES of this nomination. NcSchu_(Talk) 23:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia is not a directory, article has little context. What is the relevance of this info? --neonwhite user page talk 02:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete WP:AIRLINES consensus seems to be that fleet lists are generally not notable, and any exceptions must establish notability on a per-case basis. I also support removing similar sections that may be integrated into other articles, such as in most of the articles in Category:Airline fleets. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 04:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete The fleet tables are basically copied one-for-one from their respective sources, and I don't see the benefit they give to the encyclopedia. Neither airline fleet is notable in any regard so they fail that basic page requirement. WP:AIRLINES has also stated that registration tables should not be included in Fleet sections on any airline page, therefore merge requests are also irrelevant. Neither page has substance, unlike some other fleet pages that exist on the encyclopedia, and plenty of time has been given for substance to be added. NcSchu_(Talk) 04:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, it has long been held as concensus at WP:AIRLINES that sprawling lists of fleet tables and registrations, previous users, current operators, etc, etc are not encyclopaedic, with the exception of a few circumstances, such as Western Pacific Airlines, where the fleet itself actually was notable. Additionally, the sources being used for many of these articles are not reliable sources, they are mainly enthusiast sites with no expectation of fact checking and the like. Let's build an encyclopaedia here, and let's leave the fandom element to sites such as airliners.net. Furthermore, in the event that article length is ever used as a reason for the existence of these articles, the solution to horrible cruft is to delete it, not create a separate article for it. --Россавиа ^Диалог 18:36, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
