The company seems to be a pretty run of air plane manufacturer that's only developed one plane. Which hardly got any coverage anywhere. There's only one legitimate source in the article. The others are FAA filings and primary. Plus, it's extremely run of the mill. Since it applies to most every plane manufacturer. There is some minor coverage of a plane they are developing, but the few sources about it are sketchy in relation to notability, Wikipedia isn't news anyway, and NCORP clearly states product launches are trivial. The triviality of it is more so in this case though, because the product isn't even launched yet. It's not even clear from the sources when it will be either and using it for notability now is obviously a case of TOSOON. So, I'm really not seeing anything about this company that passes GNG or NCORP. Adamant1 (talk) 10:49, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It is sufficient that Wikipedia has an article devoted to the BDC Aero Puma, the light-sport aircraft currently on offer from BDC Aero Industrie. In this case, notability doesn't extend to the manufacturer. Dolphin (t) 12:24, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to BDC Aero Puma. There's currently not enough to justify a stand-alone article, not to mention that there isn't enough coverage of the manufacturer to merit an article. However, it would serve fine as a redirect, which would also make recreation easier in the event that the company gains notability in the future. There's currently not really any sourced content to make anything really worth merging to the plane's article. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:38, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into BDC Aero Puma. Not enough notability to sustain its own article here, but there is some information worth adding to the airplane's article, rather than outright removal. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 12:58, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Steelpillow, just curious, what is worth merging to the other article? imo all the content worth merging (that is sourced) is already in the plane's article. Best wishes, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:05, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A couple of minor items maybe, maybe not. No big deal, but kneejerk delete seems out of place. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:39, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I'd be fine with merging it or there being a redirect. Although, probably a redirect would be better. Since I don't think there is enough in the article to make the edit history worth keeping. But either option is OK by me. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:42, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to BDC Aero Puma. Not sure why we need an AFD - this seems very straight forward. Nfitz (talk) 03:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge / redirect to BDC Aero Puma per consensus. Nfitz, to be fair to the OP, the article's existed since 2012, so any action without a discussion would have been a bold edit verging on the reckless. ——Serial^# 12:47, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect as per above. Not quite enough for the article to stand on it's own two legs at this time. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 12:56, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per Steelpillow. Dtt1^Talk 19:34, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
