This article violates WP:CORP and the outcome of the 2018 RFC where it was decided that these articles listing airline destinations are essentially directories/databases containing purely commercial information.

WP:CORP is failed as, though this is a list, this is manifestly about a commercial enterprise, meaning that WP:LISTN is modified by WP:CORP, yet the only sources cited in the article are the company's own website and www.exyuaviation.com, which is a blog. No reliable, independent sources are cited in the article. To meet WP:CORP sources would have to be found that satisfy the audience requirements for WP:CORP articles, meaning that industry-press or local news alone won't be enough. Nothing found in my WP:BEFORE. FOARP (talk) 09:20, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, apart from the fact that the company went bankrupt in 2019, this list is only a list of destinations at a specific time. Not much to merge to the parent article, either. --Tone 10:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This information would be perfectly valid in the article about the airline itself, but might make that article excessively long. I think we need a new policy: If an airline company is notable, its list of destinations as a separate article is also notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Eastmain - So, lists of products/services provided by companies should be automatically assumed notable if the providing company is notable? Lists of bus-routes? Rail services? Computer programs? Cars? Package holidays? Individual hotels in hotel-chains? Restaurants in a franchise? Multiplex cinemas? Supermarkets? These are all no different ultimately to the routes of an airline. The routes served by an airline are just as routine and run-of-the-mill as the locations run by Arby's or Tim Hortons or Little Chef.
That Argos or Costco are notable does not mean we should have a list-article listing all of their outlets. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not the Yellow Pages, nor an airline services schedule.
Additionally, the sourcing here (the company and a blog) is clearly not suitable. This is setting aside the question of whether the parent article is appropriately sourced.
The place to propose policy changes is at WP:VPP, not here. Here we already have an RFC regarding specifically these articles, which says they are not suitable content. FOARP (talk) 11:59, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • CastJared - Frankly I'm OK with deleting all of the lists of destination articles per the 2018 RFC, but I'm curious - why is Star Alliance relevant here? FOARP (talk) 13:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Because Star Alliance members, have their separate destinations article for each airline. CastJared (talk) 15:35, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
