Airlines Based in Hawaii

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems redundant to Category:Airlines of Hawaii as it doesn't really add much. Basically a glorified, incomplete list. Hawaiian717 (talk) 03:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Listify as List of airlines in Hawaii and expand to list-class quality. Viriditas (talk) 03:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, move, and improve per Viriditas. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  04:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, etc., per Viriditas --haha169 (talk) 04:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per WP:CLN the existance of a category is not a reason to delete a list.  When that list either does or can add value beyond the category then I think the list should always be kept.  In this case it currenty adds value (although it needs improving) and even if it made into a list I can see value in it as it could include information on number of aircraft, formation date etc. allowing comparision of the different airlines something that is much more difficult with categories.

 * Userfy/Projectify While it might potentially add value in the future, it currently detracts value because it's not reliably sourced. It should be sourced before it's allowed to go live at the properly titled List of Hawaiian airlines in mainspace (the old title it was moved from can be retained as a redirect. This title is mistyped and should be deleted per naming conventions). - Mgm|(talk) 11:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Hawaiian" generally means someone of Hawaiian descent, so we tend to use "in Hawaii" to designate lists by state. That, and "in X" is standard, state-related list naming convetion; Hawaii is no different. Viriditas (talk) 09:38, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would also avoid the category title "List of Hawaiian airlines" as it has the potential to be confused with Hawaiian Airlines. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Since it's hard to drive from one county to another in Hawaii without getting wet, people rely on small carriers more than they might in other states. Mandsford (talk) 19:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
