The article does not meet WP:NCORP. Also, the article only seems to use 2 websites. Also, the article has been deleted before, but User:Sunnya343 made a sneaky move and then rewrote the article. Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 04:29, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are several English sources available in the Indian media. Along with this, there is also significant non-English coverage. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 04:33, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rsrikanth05, but does it have significant coverage? I am hard pressed to find information about "star air." --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 04:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Please search for Star Air along with its promoter Sanjay Ghodawat. The number of results shoots up. There are also Kannada and Marathi sources, which can be used. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 04:37, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  
  Also, calling in the aviation enthusiast from our end, @Trinidade:. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 04:40, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  Rsrikanth05, I checked and I disagree. They are the usual PR articles. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 04:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This airline commenced commercial operations only 60 days ago. As I have mentioned in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VIF Airways, airline companies in India (especially outside of Delhi and Mumbai) do not easily get "significant coverage" in mainstream English media. We need to give local contributors more time. Previously, the article was nominated for deletion, citing, among other things, that the airline wasn't yet flying. Ironically, the airline launched operations just nine days after that first article was deleted by @Bbb23: as a result of the AfD. Now, two months into the airline's operation, we have another nomination citing WP:NCORP!! I think we need to keep the article per WP:CHANCE. Thanks, Trinidade (talk) 08:33, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Trinidade, then shall we drafity the article until enough references can be added? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 14:43, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For now just listing sources that are not yet included in the article, as I find them, while trying to avoid duplicate news sources that cover same story. Will finally evaluate and !vote later. Abecedare (talk) 15:31, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Article has valuable information for a young company. With time, it will grow. The words "sneaky move" used in the head are inappropriate IMO. Kigelim (talk) 07:07, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well the article was previously deleted but the user created the article using a different title and then moved it. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:13, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. "Sneaky move"? I had no idea the article was previously nominated for deletion. I saw the article was linked to from Kempegowda International Airport, since Star Air is an airline that serves the airport; the article was then titled "Ghodawat Aviation" in reference to Star Air's parent company. An article about the parent company did not appear to be notable, so I changed the title & essentially rewrote the article to focus on the scheduled passenger airline that is a subsidiary of Ghodawat Enterprises. As Abecedare has shown, there is ample coverage of this airline in the media. Bottom line: Just because the article is about a part of the world you're not familiar with, doesn't mean it isn't notable! — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 17:57, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
