Austrian Airlines destinations
non-encyclopedic Icarus 22:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. — Phil Welch 00:19, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per policy (proposal?) of WikiProject Airlines that says if airline has more than 10 destinations, list them in a separate article. I think the information itself (the route structure of a major-ish airline) is useful and encyclopedic; the question is where to put it. -- MCB 01:51, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Since we have such pages for 61 other airlines, I see no reason why we shouldn't for Austrian Airlines. - SimonP 02:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per SimonP...HoratioVitero 04:47, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Ah. I didn't know about the other articles like this when I nominated this one for deletion.  Guess I should have scrolled down to see the categories before I jumped to conclusions.  Definitely a breach on my part.  I still don't agree that an article that's just a huge list of where an airline flies to is encyclopedic, but if it's being accepted elsewhere then this airline shouldn't be treated any differently.  Sorry for the hassle, all.  Go ahead and close this early if you want to, administrators.  Consider my nomination for deletion hereby retracted.  --Icarus 04:53, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Could we at least mention it's a break out of the airway article due to size issues to avoid further miisunderstandings? - Mgm|(talk) 11:08, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I wouldn't mind a mass-nomination of the other similar articles. Wikipedia is not a travelguide. / Peter Isotalo 01:25, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment That's my inclination, too. Anyone who needs to know because they're planning a trip should go to the airline's own website, or contact a travel agent.  The only reason I can think of for keeping it is if it was a compromise to keep loooong lists like this off the main article page for each airline, and only then if it was done so larger airlines wouldn't be penalized, in effect, for serving too wide an area, whereas smaller ones could easily fit their handful of destinations in their main article without making it too long. --Icarus 21:14, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep A standard break-out article. CalJW 08:52, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I dont know why they want to delete this article, it doesnt affects anybody, for people that likes knowing more about airlines, airplanes, etc., its interesting and why not, encyclopedic. - Jibco 21:57, 19 September, 2005(UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, a directory, or a travel desk. Soltak | Talk 21:48, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
