American Skyship Industries

This is a non-existent factory for a non-existent product, full of WP:CRYSTAL ideas. It appears to be a company that duped a small town, then didn't do squat afterwards. If this was intended to be a spinoff of Wren Skyships, then it's not a viable content fork on its own. Most references aren't about this company, but about Wren, Airships as a whole, and local news about the potential way back when that didn't pan out. D P 16:17, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge content with Airship Industries where the whole sorry saga of Wren and its associated companies is addressed. To be fair to the article creator (now indef blocked), the whole point of the article was to document the scam (as the only notable thing in the entire episode), and I can buy that. There is a little meat to this effect and it would sit well enough in the Wren saga. If the page can remain as a redirect rather than get deleted, well and good. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:32, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, as noted above. I'm not confident how much of this should be merged per se; much is uncited, cited to unreliable sources (the Mahoningvalley source is a forum), cited to unverifiable sources (I can't find that Rimel source in any form, and "Touche-Ross Report" does not a reference make), or ultimately simply trivial (like the one-sentence news blurb on The Vindicator website). Regardless, the Flight International refs are reasonable, and there is something to say about all of this ... but that's part of a larger topic rather than here.

Merge & redirect what little concrete infomation there is to Airship Industries TheLongTone (talk) 16:57, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - in the absence of an article on Major M. Wren / Thermo-skyships, merge/redirect to the Airships Industries article seems reasonable. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:32, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
