Louisiana Airways[edit]

Airline that never got started, fails WP:N as it has no reliable sources. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 00:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless it actually gets started. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Tavix (talk) 01:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Tavix. Wait until it's actually started, or until there's more to say about it (i.e., more reliable source coverage). This is a perma-stub for something non-notable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 02:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral per Eastmain. Only one of the sources is substantially about the article. But I usually trust Eastmain's judgment, as they're really good at WP:HEY. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 17:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added a reference. Even if the airline never flew, it was once notable, as shown by the media coverage it received from multiple sources late in 2004. And once notable, always notable. I can't find anything that explains when or why it went out of business. --Eastmain (talk) 05:20, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To reply from my talk page, sorry, 3 cites isn't enough to establish notability. Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 23:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If the airline never flew, then the article is highly unlikely to ever advance beyond stub status. Notability was very definitely marginal. If it would have failed WP:CRYSTAL as a prospective airline, there's certainly no reason to include it as an airline that never made it to flight. RayAYang (talk) 17:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Does seem to have multiple WP:RS's that keep WP:V possible. So what if it does not go much beyond a perma-stub, thats allowed. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 09:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it never existed as an operating airline. Bearian (talk) 18:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The Wiki if full of "things that never were" how can that (alone) be reason to delete? Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 06:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
