Commercial Application of Military Airlift Aircraft

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a very heavily promotional article about a proposed civilian/reserve military variant of the C-17 Globemaster. It is quite inappropriately biased toward promoting the concept, in great detail. However key sections are based on documents which are claimed but cannot be independently verified, creating a WP:RS problem in addition. It is not clear that it is notable in terms of the GNG. In my view a small section of the C-17 article could discuss this proposal in a much more neutral (NPOV) manner. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:30, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The article reads like a promotional essay, and I don't think that this is sufficiently notable in isolation to justify a stand-alone article. Boeing C-17 Globemaster III (from which, from memory, this article was split) does the job, though it could probably be expanded a bit. Nick-D (talk) 23:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete for reasons cited above and the fact that the C-17 program is ending without implementing this concept. The idea has been considered several times and rejected each time.Dhpage (talk) 23:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence of notability. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:18, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I also think, notability is not clear! --Tito Dutta (contact) 06:02, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment, is this a sub article of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III article? If it isn't the content should be highly summarized, merged, and redirected to the article. If it is a sub-article it should be kept, as AfD is not a replacement for improvement to resolve the WP:NOTPROMOTION concern of the article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:51, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It appears that the original content is based on content removed from the C-17 article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete or possibly redirect to Civil Reserve Air Fleet as a one-liner. MilborneOne (talk) 19:14, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This smells of Boeing vanispamcrufttisement; at the very most, as a considered-but-failed project, it needs either to be summarised in one small section of the Main C-17 article, or blown up and restarted as Boeing BC-17 if it's to be a spinout. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:44, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems to be entirely promotional. Ducknish (talk) 23:50, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Snow delete consensus seems to be very clear.  Automatic  Strikeout   ( T  •  C ) 02:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete; it reads more like a press release than an encyclopædia article. In principle, it may be possible to write a neutral article - notability isn't very high but there's no rule saying we can't have an article on an abandoned project &c - but we'd have to start from scratch and lean more heavily on secondary sources &c. bobrayner (talk) 12:46, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Sounds like a press release. As above. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 19:11, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
