Does not meet WP:GNG, coverage is limited to primary sources and database entries. I was unable to find any superior coverage searching online and on Google Books. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:16, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

’’’Keep’’’ There are multiple quality secondary sources from a variety of established, respected aviation publications that must not be ignored. There is worth in keeping the article up to be further expanded. At the very least move it to draft space to be edited for a time before being republished, but I don’t think it’s worth even that considering that the article has already been reviewed and approved with the sources it has. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slowtationjet (talk • contribs)
Which sources? If you're talking about the ones currently in the article, they're not secondary sources, they're database entries with little-to-no analysis of the airport. Meanwhile, the page was marked reviewed by me, because I brought it to AfD; that is in no way an argument against deletion, that's just the NPP flowchart--once something is brought to AfD the review is completed and further decisions are up to the course of discussion._signed,Rosguill ^talk 16:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SkyVector, AOPA, Flying Magazines, FlightAware, Visit Canton, and Canton Airsports are not databases. They are fully third party organizations/companies that maintain and publish information and articles about airports such as Barber. The only source that could be considered a database is PlaneCrashMap, which pulls information from the NTSB, which itself is a third party, independent source unrelated to the airport. Same with AirNav with FAA information. Slowtationjet (talk) 03:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added additional notable third-party sources to the article Slowtationjet (talk) 05:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The cited sources you refer to are not secondary prose coverage, they're metadata objects (e.g. [1]) that don't contribute to establishing notability. The only cited source that begins to meet this is the Canton Rep article, which is a fairly weak start given that it's a local paper and coverage there is largely dependent on an interview with the owner. Coverage of accidents happening near the airport is not coverage of the airport itself unless the articles in question devote significant attention to the airport's role in the crash or other history. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
’’’Keep’’’ Article passes the sniff test, not sure what you're complaining about. Also has had three notable enough accidents, which is good enough justification in and of itself...

Comment. Would other participants be open to an ATD? For example, this could be mentioned in a sentence at Alliance, Ohio#Transportation. gidonb (talk) 01:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds good to me, I think the sources support that level of coverage. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 01:23, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, that would mean making the page a redirect to the page on the city of Alliance? Slowtationjet (talk) 03:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely, a merge now includes a redirect by default. No longer a need to write merge and redirect. That's now already implied. gidonb (talk) 01:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (highly selective) into Alliance, Ohio#Transportation. About one sentence. Can include a few refs as long as this one is included. This ATD has the support of the nominator, the interest of the only keep sayer, and hopefully the only delete respondent will join as well! gidonb (talk) 01:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This makes sense to me. Llajwa (talk) 13:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also support it Slowtationjet (talk) 06:04, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
