According to the 2018 RFC, exhaustive lists of airline destinations are not suitable content for Wikipedia. A subsequent AN discussion concluded that these articles should be AFD'd in an orderly manner with a link to the original RFC discussion and that it should be taken into account in any close.

This article fails WP:NOT as it is a clear failure of WP:NOTCATALOGUE. Specifically it is a complete listing of all the services provided by a company. It is no different, ultimately, to a complete listing of all the outlets of Roy Roger's as of 5th July 1983. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not the Yellow Pages or Skyscanner.

Even if the RFC were set to one side, and the WP:NOT issues dealt with somehow (and I do not believe they can be), this article would still be a failure of WP:CORP, which explicitly requires that articles solely about the services offered by a company are cited to significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources that go beyond mere specialist/industry press and are not simply local or narrow-interest coverage. This is resolutely not the case for this article, which is cited only to the company website Kuban.aero (now 404), a blog on Travel.ru (a website that sells travel tickets), and Agent.ru (another website that sells tickets). Given the NOT issues a WP:BEFORE search is not mandatory, but I did one anyway and unsurprisingly there was nothing that would fix this. The lack of a corresponding RU-language page about the destinations of Kuban Airlines is also indicative of the problem. Looking at the sourcing for the Kuban Airlines page there is also nothing that would fix this. FOARP (talk) 15:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, and per WP:IINFO, of which these kinds of ephemeral lists of airline destinations are a textbook example. Also, the RFC above shows there is an existing consensus that these lists should be deleted. --Jayron 32 14:12, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
