Original Proposition Reason: "No source and invalid information"

Was originally proposed for deletion by and  - however I think an AfD may be more appropriate. Ed6767 (talk) 15:13, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - I remain neutral and am simply creating an AfD to promote discussion from other editors and generate a more clear consensus Ed6767 (talk) 15:14, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. I removed the PROD because lack of sources and factual errors are both defects which can be fixed through normal editing, and I had no reason to think the article was a hoax. If the nom had tagged the article or mentioned hoax in the prod, I probably would have left it in place. pburka (talk) 15:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like a hoax to me, possibly suitable for speedy deletion as such under WP:CSD G3. It's "the national airline" of a territory with fewer than 12,000 people? It's existed for 45 years and is a "major regional airline in the South Pacific", but the closest Google comes to a relevant match is this blog post from 2009 by someone who lives there wishing there was such a thing as "Air Wallis-et-Futuna"? ("Alors à quand la naissance de la compagnie tant attendue Air Wallis et Futuna, ou encore Air WaFu ?"; in English, "So when is a long-awaited Air Wallis and Futuna, or even an Air WaFu, going to come to be?") And the "official link" given is fake. At best, even if the territorial government is operating an air service by that name, at least some of the information given about it in the article is fake, and the airline certainly isn't notable.

 * OK, it's settled. The IATA and ICAO codes given are the ones belonging to Samoa Airways. Largoplazo (talk) 18:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, and in addition: I learned of this discussion because the article's creator is on my watchlist. The reason for that is that, on new page patrol a couple of years ago, I put another hoax article created by that user up for speedy deletion. Largoplazo (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * And now I've tagged yet another bogus article by that user for speedy deletion: Air Wallis-et-Futuna. Largoplazo (talk) 21:42, 3 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per Largoplazo and nom. --Cornellier (talk) 19:18, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per the others above. This appears a hoax. Oakshade (talk) 22:24, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
