This was originally deleted as CSD G11 spam. DRV overturned, finding that this was not "blatant" advertising. Still, weak delete, over WP:CORP concerns. Xoloz 13:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - If the article's claim is correct that this was the first indexing site then it is notable. It seems well sourced and doesn't seem to be written in a tone that suggests advertising - Fosnez 14:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to pass WP:WEB, seems to at least somewhat pass WP:RS, WP:V. Can't find anything that says it was the first, though. Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 18:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Don't see how it meets WP:WEB, but I might be missing something. Reads like an advertisement to me, that plus the WP:WEB bit and nobody wanting to take on the job of fixing this up...  delete. - C HAIRBOY  (☎) 05:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, Seeing that it appeared in WP:RS sources earlier than any other airline portal (in particular San Francisco Chronicle and Asia Week articles cited in the article) it does appear to be the first, or at the very least, the first comprehensive one. Take a look at that San Francisco Chronicle article.  It discusses Alaska Airlines planning to sell airline tickets online as if it is something quite new, and then mentions the site in question and no other sites.  Similarly the Asia Week article cites the site in question as, '...possibly the most exhaustive list of existing sites. All the major carriers have them -- and some more obscure ones too.' when trying to explain to readers what the web does in terms of travel (back when people still were unfamiliar with the concept of using the web to book travel).  In terms of WP:V the site is listed with the Library of Congress in the U.S., which strikes me as WP:V. 07:42, 12 September 2007  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.82.96.26 (talk)
