The result was keep. While "it existed" is indeed not a sufficient argument for keeping a page, some other source-based arguments have gone uncontested. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 06:50, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP. Only 1 reliable source. Hardly the requirements to pass WP:NCORP. The previous AFD doesn't offer any strong reason to Keep other than WP:ITEXISTS and WP:ILIKEIT Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 00:03, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a list of low-cost airline travel charter companies to which we could merge/redirect this? If so, do that. If not, delete. bd2412 T 00:23, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly List of low-cost airlines? Snowycats (talk) 00:41, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Snowycats, that's just a list of airlines and they all have individual articles. Don't think this is suitable for it. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 01:28, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tyw7 - Yeah, I felt like it was a stretch. Just putting what is there for reference. Snowycats (talk) 01:32, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't much on the internet about this company, but a search through newspapers.com turns up a lot of non-trivial coverage about this company in the 1970s, coverage picked up by wire services and printed throughout the country. Therefore, meets WP:GNG. When I get a chance over the next few days I'll add some sources to the article and additional content. RecycledPixels (talk) 19:34, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some sources now. RecycledPixels (talk) 21:51, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on news sources provided by RecycledPixels. While I can't access them, the sources' titles alone suggest that significant coverage is given. Comment: An article of this length could be split into sections for readability purposes. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:17, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It existed. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 05:25, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated, So? WP:ITEXISTS isn't a good reason to keep. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 10:20, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Tyw7: It does not exist, so WP:ITEXISTS is irrelevant. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 10:38, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated, same difference. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 11:10, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Tyw7: No it isn't; you should spend more time learning English, or edit an alternative version of Wikipedia. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 11:17, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated, WP:ITEXISTS does indeed apply to subjects that have existed at any point in time; specifically, it applies to any subject that is not a hoax, and it is an extremely weak argument. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 05:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a rather significant difference between something currently existing, and something previously existing; exempli gratia, si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 05:56, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated, not in the eyes of Wikipedia. If it exists or had existed and you argued notability based on that, WP:ITEXISTS applies. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am Wikipedia. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 12:49, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Create WP:ITEXISTED, and add my offending vote to the page; as this is an examples of this happening. If this website still exists after we're all long dead, don't expect it to be the same as it is today; if it is, then I'll be immortalised!!! :D -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 13:09, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The sourced added by RecycledPixels show that this airline received substantial coverage in newspapers across the United States for at least a few years. I think WP:GNG has been met. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:00, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
