 * Keep an airline that a clearly been in operation running scheduled services for nearly twenty years is noteworthy enough for an article. Being defunct is not a reason for deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * , reason is no reference. Even WP:GNG needs third party coverage. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 20:12, 11 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. It's always tricky to find sources online for something that was swallowed by another company in 1993, but the Finnish article has a list of sources of varying quality (some of them say very little). I've added a reference to a Swedish article from the 90s I found in the Mediearkivet. Finna lists addition material, such as Arja Vartia's Finnaviation poronsarvikauteen and Jukka Hoffrén's Se kolmas kotimainen : Finnaviation. Enough to convince me that this passes GNG. /Julle (talk) 21:09, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to Finnair. From what I see - - this was never really an independent standalone company - it was created in 1979 as a Finnair subsidary for domestic flights, and was eventually folded back into Finnair. I think this is best handled in Finnair itself (with a redirect there).Icewhiz (talk) 07:18, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Finnair seems to have held 60% of the stock, not owned it outright, though? Also, I think this is the best place to write briefly about Lentohuolto/Finnwings and Nordair, which might be rather out of place in the Finnair article? /Julle (talk) 07:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Initially 60% (in 79), then owned it outright ( - "wholly owned subsidiary"), then folded it into Finnair. In any event - Finnair held a controlling stake throughout this company's existence - And Finnaviation was created to further Finnair's business - as evident in this timeline entry on Finnair in 1979.

 * Finnwings - AFAICT - had a longer history and independent existence - I don't think it should be covered in this article. An article on Finnaviation could possibly be plausible (though I mainly see it covered as past of Finnair) - however the present article is rather brief and definitely merge-able.

 * Merge per . Not notable for stand-alone article, but it certainly could be included somehwere within Finnair. However, this debate should be closed pretty soon and/or relisted. Yup... so.. that's it for me here. (gosh, I am so awkward at voting.) &#8213; <em style="color:black">Matthew J. Long -Talk-<sup style="font-size:75%">☖  20:38, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to Finnair. I would hate to lose this entirely; I'm totally amused by the idea of an airline flying a C-152, and it would be a shame to lose that little bit of aviation trivia.  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:47, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
