Emirates Inflight Entertainment

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Speedy for this was declined. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising, and looking as previous AfDs, Articles for deletion/Emirates Lounge, Articles for deletion/Emirates Airline Services, Articles for deletion/Emirates Airline Cabins, this is no different. Issues this advertarticle has include is the IFE really that notable? There is nothing asserted in the article which gives it notability. The article is totally unsourced, so it does not comply with our verifiability policy, and is already covered at Emirates_Airline, basically making this an advert fork. Looking at it again, I am somewhat inclined to contact the admin who declined and raise it with them, but it's easier to bring it here and hope that Emirates fabulous peanuts isn't the next advertarticle created.

 * Delete - per nom. Speedy, actually, on all of them, before the peanuts one is also created. None of them are encyclopedic in any way or merit anything beyond a blurb on the main article. This is a case of implied notability by wiki-association. And the creator is not an admin, BTW, not that it would have any bearing on the AfD. §FreeRangeFrog 18:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - if really necessary it can be injected into the article about Emirates Airlines. Otherwise not really notable to merit its own article. Valley2 city ‽ 20:13, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The article claims that "Emirates was one of the very first airlines to offer all class personal entertainment systems. With its introduction in the early 90s, it has been an Emirates policy since to fit all seats with inseat screens and an entertainment system." Now, 'one of the very first' is clearly weasel wording that cannot be properly substantiated. If however, they are the first, than that's clearly of historical significance. Also, if the second sentence is true, they introduced something significant to airline inflight systems. Of course, neither is substantiated, but that means at leas the article has a problem with verification rather than the notability cited by the nominator. - Mgm|(talk) 09:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
