Unencyclopedic content[edit]

This article has been written without provision of any references, or citations to confirm verifiability. WP:Verifiability states the policy that the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.

One paragraph in particular is conspicuously unencyclopedic. Without any citation, this paragraph says:

  • The design proved so successful that initial Airtourer (1962-63) sales exceeded the combined sales of its giant American competitors Cessna, Beechcraft and Piper.
  • Unable to match the Airtourer’s exemplary performance, the North American manufacturers then attempted to squeeze the Australian newcomer out of the market by initiating a price-cutting war
  • Cessna for example, dumped massive quantities of its 1966 Model 150F on to the worldwide market at a cheaper price than its previous model.

Even though the editor must fervently have believed these things to be true, that is not sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia. An encyclopedia gathers in one place what other documents have recorded. An encyclopedia is not a place for individuals to write what they believe to be true. See WP:No original research.

If these statements cannot be supported promptly, they must be deleted until such time as they can be re-inserted with appropriate citations. Dolphin51 (talk) 09:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since 22 June, no attempt has been made to provide citations or other support for the unsourced and uncyclopedic comments listed above. I have deleted them. These comments can be restored in the future, providing they are adequately supported by inline citations. Dolphin51 (talk) 04:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There may be no authoritative refs, but the article is mostly accurate. The only gripe I have is some missing info regarding Cessna and Piper. In 1966 when the Victa was becoming popular, both Cessna and Piper dropped the Australian prices of their small a/c by nearly 10%. It was likely to be a deliberate trade dumping. Currently exiting refs for this machine may now be no better than links enthusiast web sites. Various authoritative books on Aus aviation do exist, but at several hundred dollars per copy few readers have access to them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.236.236 (talk) 00:09, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Airtourer[edit]

The above named brief article is about the same aircraft - it should be merged?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Winstonwolfe (talk • contribs) 07:44, 20 January 2011

There is only one article. It is this one, called AESL Airtourer. The Wiki-link Airtourer is merely a re-direct to take you to AESL Airtourer. Dolphin (t) 07:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: photo of US export. AFAIK only one a/c was exported to the US. It was CN 74 (model 100) and is still registered as N4300V. It has not flown for many years.220.244.236.236 (talk) 00:15, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
