Flag carrier

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

The article is composed of almost entirely original research and unreferenced material and has been tagged that way for 11 months. There have also been many debates in the talk section about if the article is encopedic material because of all of the controversy of what airlines are flag carriers, and people adding airlines because they share the same name with the country that they are based in.

 * Keep, but remove the section "List of national flag carriers," which appears to be causing most of the problems. The subject is notable, but the list is original research. Malinaccier (talk) 00:15, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep There are sources that identify which airlines are "flag carriers" and I think that the OR problems can be solved.  Ideally, one should be able to source to an existing table. Mandsford (talk) 01:59, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I know this is a common term by itself, so surely it's a worthy subject for an article. Having a list of such carriers can be referenced, but I agree that the list is currently a problem; nevertheless, its problems shouldn't impact the rest of the article here at AFD.

 * Keep. The list may be causing disputes, but the rest of the article is perfectly fine (referenced), and shouldn't be deleted. - Mgm|(talk) 09:04, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but remove the list. MilborneOne (talk) 14:03, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It looks like a consensus has been reached to keep the artlcle but get rid of the list because the list is the only major problem with the artlce. Spikydan1 (talk) 15:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
