Appalachian Airlines

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

I could not find any reliable secondary sources offering a deeper coverage on this airline, so it seems to miss the WP:CORP criteria. There aren't any reference for any aircraft it operated (the airline is not listed at any fleet directories, so it did have any Airbus/Boeing/Bombardier/ATR/Embraer/Douglas) aircraft. Thus, likely a non-notable, non-scheduled airline with only minor airplanes like Cessna, Jetstream... Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 09:27, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Little commuter airlines are not inherently notable, and no sign that this will ever go beyond a stub.  The article truly has nothing to say.  To paraphrase, "I hear tell that there was this airline that was around the late 1970s; dunno whether it had an airplane, dunno what airport the plane was kept at, dunno where it flew from or where it flew to, dunno who started it or why it folded in 1980... but I saw it on a list."

 * Keep I found some references, includin press clippings and timetables. I don't think that the possibility or not of an article going past stub status or not is reason for deletion.  Ravendrop (talk) 04:36, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. Reading the WP:CORP guidelines, "Deep coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about an organization". Dunno if deep coverage is achieved here, but as the article looks like now I would definitely call for keeping it. But rather than closing the AfD debate, we should wait for more opinions.
