Royal Brunei Airlines was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

[edit] Improvement drive

Brunei is currently nominated on Wikipedia: This week's improvement drive. Come and support it with your vote! --Fenice 18:08, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Profit figures

I moved this here from the main article. Royal Brunei is a private limited firm so I don't see how anyone can back up statements of "gross profit of $70million".

After the fourth quarter of 2005, Royal Brunei made their first profit after operating in debt for five years. This marked the success of their re-structuring exercise.[citation needed] By the late quarter of 2006, Royal Brunei made a gross profit of $70 million dollars. [citation needed]

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


I propose that Royal Brunei be renamed to Royal Brunei Airlines. Not only does this sound unprofessional and 'slang-like', but the Airlines is part of their name, as stated in the first three words of the article introduction. I have some references and reasons:

  1. A Google Search on Royal Brunei Airlines. Please note the first non-sponsored listing: the official site, 'Welcome to Royal Brunei Airlines' and
  1. Royal Brunei Airlines - 4 Star Airlines rating by Skytrax.
  2. The Royal Brunei Airlines official site. See the Boarding Pass promotional advertisement -
  1. Boarding Pass Promotion With Royal Brunei Airlines
  2. You can always type in Royal Brunei and be redirected to Royal Brunei Airlines.
  3. Skytrax Rating - 4 stars. Heading is 'Royal Brunei Airlines'.
  4. Royal Brunei is used as slang just as China Eastern is used as slang for China Eastern Airways/Airlines.
  5. Skyscanner lists them as Royal Brunei Airlines.

I hope this is enough. Sorry to all those edit conflicts, I was first to suggest (see User talk:Gnangarra).

[edit] Move Survey

Add "# Support" or "# Oppose" on a new line in the appropriate section followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~. Please remember that this survey is not a vote, and please provide an explanation for your recommendation. You can voice your opinion in Discussion, below.

[edit] Support

  1. Support - see my argument above, that started off the debate. Social Studiously 13:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  2. Support - appears to be the correct name of the airline according to their main page [1] which is proudly titled "Welcome to Royal Brunei Airlines" Orderinchaos78 11:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
  3. Support. Seems like a no-brainer to me. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 13:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oppose

[edit] Discussion

  • Since this article opens with Royal Brunei Airlines would it not be more logical for the article to be at Royal Brunei Airlines. According to http://www.bruneiair.com/aboutus/history.asp the airlines own web site states Royal Brunei Airlines, the country’s flag carrier,.... What thoughts do the regular editors of this article have. note: I'm happy to do move and dab all the links if the consensus is to move. Gnangarra 13:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Result

This article has been renamed from Royal Brunei to Royal Brunei Airlines as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 14:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Nomination

I have nominated Royal Brunei for Good Article Status. I have read the What is a good article? section of Wikipedia very well, and when I matched this up to the Royal Brunei article, I determined it to fit the criteria. I'm not sure if I'm too 'new' to list it for good article status, but I do really believe it fits the criteria. Social Studiously My Editor Review! - 11:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

My Interpretation

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):

  5. It is stable.
  6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
    a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
  7. Overall:
    a Pass/Fail:

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of March 31, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: no, one-sentence paragraphs, etc.
2. Factually accurate?: practically no references
3. Broad in coverage?: no, stub sections
4. Neutral point of view?: yes
5. Article stability? yes
6. Images?: yes

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — TodorBozhinov 20:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaning Up Trivia

I was just wondering why their are Airline Codeshare's listed as "trivia" , I would of created a new Section for this, but want to make sure that it isn't a problem with everyone here. any feedbback appreciated! tomauer 11:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RoyalBrulogo.PNG

Image:RoyalBrulogo.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
