Astravia–Bissau Air Transports

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Non-notable airline, completely fails WP:CORP, as the article does not state why it shall be considered notable. There are nearly no references to be found that this airline exists or existed (there aren't even any dates given, so not even the time period we're talking about is known), so it's significance for this encyclopedia seems to be quite low. Non of the external aircraft fleet directories that are included as a reference in nearly every airline article shows any airplanes listed for Astravia. Therefore, it never operated any Airbus/Boeing/Canadair/Dash/ATR/Embraer/Douglas/Lockheed... aircraft, only small planes remain. Thus, I doubt that the airline has/left any impact which is necessary to claim for an Wikipedia article. I have nominated this article for deletion once before, then the result was keep due to a "tiny snippet" in a Lonely Planet Guide someone dug out (see this discussion). Still, IMO it is just wrong to assume that an airline should be notable just because it once operated a passenger flight. There is no information given about the extent of this service, it might well just have been a one-time flight. Per aspera ad Astra (talk) 08:53, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The article doesn't even claim notability, much less demonstrate it. --MelanieN (talk) 14:47, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
