Former Destinations
Hey Man -- thanks for taking the time to work on WP:AIRPORTS! We definitely need the help around here. Former destinations is a topic that has been debated before, and the general consensus has been that it does not belong in the article. Certain exceptions can be made -- for example -- if it is an article about an airport that once had two airlines with five destinations, and now has little to no commercial service. Mentioning that the airport once had commercial service certainly is beneficial. However, with large airports like CVG, listing former destinations is complicated and confusing. If you want to compile a list on the talk page, go for it. But not in the main article, please. T ofutwitch11  (T ALK ) 02:13, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Just want to follow up, after reading further the discussion on WP:AIRPORTS. I agree, CVG took some huge cuts as a result of the DL/NW merger, and lost a lot. But I think using passenger numbers and destination numbers, ie 'CVG went from XX million pax in 2006, to X million in 2015' is a better example, and less confusing, than the entire list. I understand DepartedFlights has a lot of the information, but a complete catalog of every destination every served from CVG is not necessary. T ofutwitch11  (T ALK ) 02:27, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for keeping this topic ongoing. I am aware of multiple airports with users currently implementing this or already using it, so this is not an isolated case. This was very much a test to see how it worked, I do like the idea of being on the talk page, as it does take a lot of space, but also ideas such as seperate article or show/hide button could work too. I will not personally, but I am sure your edit will be reverted very soon, so let us not make this an edit war, but I think there could be some more discussion here (on CVG Talk, I already put an idea).

 * I don't think that list would qualify for it's own article. I've responded on the talk page of the CVG article. T ofutwitch11  (T ALK ) 22:26, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
