The result was delete. discarding the keep votes as a)notability by assertion, b)needs better referencing is a reason to delete not keep c) aboiding redlinks isn't a policy reason to keep. The delete side demonstrate a clear policy basis - lack of sources and due diligence in finding such sources. I have no objection to recreation if sources are found.

Charter airline (with only one plane) of questionable notability. Google search on "Sam Air" Bratislava shows a lot of results, but no significant coverage - primarily simple directory listings. Google news search shows zero results. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:04, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Probably meets wp:notability with sources in Slovakia although not established in this article. Probably a COI editor, but the content is encyclopedic. North8000 (talk) 22:16, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep an airline operator of Boeing 737 should have an article it just needs better referencing and expansion rather than deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 22:21, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The airline is operational, so it is likely to be included in airport destination lists. If the article was deleted, there would be a red link, and I think that the reader of a destination list should be informed about the airlines listed there. I pretty well now this creates a problem if/when the airline gets defunct, but I hope that further notability can be established through adding of third-party sources. --AdAstra reloaded (talk) 13:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My reading of the only source is that it's routine coverage of a new airline / route. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:23, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
