Nothing in this article shows a difference between a greenfield airport and a new airport project. All airports were once greenfield airports because airports can't be built on abandoned industrial land within cities. It could be changed to a list of new airport proposals, but I doubt if that would be very useful. Grahame (talk) 04:09, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are only two references with just a mention that these airports are being planned or opened. Does not meet WP:GNG. Bingobro (Chat) 13:13, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Being poorly written is not a valid reason to delete. Not being sufficiently referenced is not a valid reason to delete. This is a stub article, badly written at that. It needs work, not deletion. The concept itself is notable enough for an article that does a much better job than the current form at explaining the concept, the distinction between traditional and greenfield development, pros and cons of greenfield airports vs redevelopment within existing urban boundaries, and so on. A quick search for the term reveals that this is not a term that someone made up one day, even though it is unfamiliar to me. RecycledPixels (talk) 19:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Partial merge to Greenfield land. There is little related to the concept of greenfield construction that is specific to airports making that a distinct topic. Reywas92^Talk 18:01, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
