I am also nominating the following related pages:

As was outlined at the 2018 RFC on lists of airline destinations and quoted in a recent related AFD, these are not suitable content for Wikipedia. As per the subsequent AN discussion, subsequent AFDs may or will be nominated in a orderly fashion provided they have a link to the RFC, and the closer of any AFD was to take the RFC into account in any closing decisions.

To briefly summarise, the articles on their own would fail WP:NOT, in particular WP:NOTCATALOG/WP:NOTDIRECTORY. To outline and quote an argument in the linked related recent AFD mentioned in the first paragraph, WP:CORP would apply to articles dedicated to the products and services offered by a company. The airlines nominated on this list are also defunct (or have since closed down), and lack of (or zero) sourcing in nominated would pass that standard. The extremely limited coverage was found in only one of those articles (List of Midwest Connect destinations), which largely came from the closed airline's website (now a defunct link) and is therefore not an independent source and would not pass WP:INDEPENDENT. All other nominated articles are largely unreferenced and clearly fail WP:V.

WP:BEFORE is not mandatory, however doing a brief research found only a Air Wales route map on a blog website, whilst looking for MexicaLink and Delta Express destinations largely returned results linking to mirror websites of Wikipedia and may be worth being a minor mention in the parent airline's articles (Mexicana de Aviación and Delta Air Lines) under their history sections respectively.

I am open to other suggestions, but considering the listed airlines are defunct and the lack of available independent sources that may rescue those articles, for now I would recommend Delete as the nominator. Coastie43 (talk) 03:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete all: If any airline destinations are violating WP:NOTCATALOG/WP:NOTDIRECTORY, it should be deleted because it isn't suitable for Wikipedia. CastJared (talk) 04:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think these are valid list articles, but the community disagrees. SportingFlyer T·C 09:57, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-encyclopedic subjects, see WP:NOTGUIDE as well as WP:TRIVIA. - Ahunt (talk) 12:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not that it really matters, but NOTGUIDE doesn't apply here as this is not the sort of information that would ever appear in a guidebook. And this is information that appears in the "guides to airlines" books, so it's not really trivia either. But that ship has sailed. SportingFlyer T·C 13:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
