Dublin Airport airlines and destinations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Split from Dublin Airport page is disputed. The destination list split from the Dublin Airport page is unnecessary in my opinion as the list is not particularly long compared to some airports and splitting the destination list was never agreed in the Wikiproject.

 * To my opinion, the list of airlines and destinations was taking up an excessive amount of space in the article (27%). And in fact, the destinations are not relevant for the airport itself, as the airport will not fly there. But my main concern was the excessive space and high maintenance of those lists which can be better served in a separate article. AfD is not the place to settle a dispute.

 * Delete - The Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Tarc (talk) 01:04, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * But at present, it turns Dublin Airport into a travel guide. Or are you supporting complete removal of the destinations out of all airport-articles? The Banner talk 08:54, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Beside that, edits like this add a lot of traffic and watchlist pollution. The Banner talk 09:42, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the content should be excised from the Wikipedia completely, but I see that pretty much every major airport article has one of these dense tables of data. Ugh. Tarc (talk) 12:40, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Be bold. That is partly why I moved this aside.. The Banner talk 13:14, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

I agree, it was never decided that if the Airlines and Destanations chart took up too much space it would be removed to a seperate article. The Wikipedia isn't a travel guide, and making a seperate article for Dublin Airport Airlines and Destanations makes it seem like it. You also so stated, 'Now it's possible to mention former destanations.' Well, former destanations are usually mentioned in the airport's history. So that wouldn't be needed for a seperate article, thanks. RMS52 (talk) 8:21, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete A standalone article is not required for Dublin Airport which has a relatively small list in comparison with other airports. It also sets a precedent for hundreds of other articles which is unsupported in the project guide, and would therefore be best discussed at WP:AIRPORTS first.

 * Delete/merge into Dublin Airport section. —Мандичка YO 😜 21:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete/merge to Dublin Airport. I understand where The Banner is coming from as the source article, as with many airport articles, is too large.  But until there is a wide overall consensus to content fork airlines/destinations from the airport articles, this one just go back to its original place. --Oakshade (talk) 04:50, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete unnecessary content fork, copied from Dublin Airport where the table is still there, so there's nothing to merge Kraxler (talk) 17:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as we're not a travel guide - The table is now at Dublin Airport so pointless merging, I personally believe tables like this deserve removing from all airport articles but there we go. – Davey 2010 Talk 21:38, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
