Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Freelandia (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. While "it existed" is indeed not a sufficient argument for keeping a page, some other source-based arguments have gone uncontested. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 06:50, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:NCORP. Only 1 reliable source. Hardly the requirements to pass WP:NCORP. The previous AFD doesn't offer any strong reason to Keep other than WP:ITEXISTS and WP:ILIKEIT Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 00:03, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Is there a list of low-cost airline travel charter companies to which we could merge/redirect this? If so, do that. If not, delete. bd2412  T 00:23, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Possibly List of low-cost airlines? Snowycats (talk) 00:41, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , that's just a list of airlines and they all have individual articles. Don't think this is suitable for it. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 01:28, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * - Yeah, I felt like it was a stretch. Just putting what is there for reference. Snowycats (talk) 01:32, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't much on the internet about this company, but a search through newspapers.com turns up a lot of non-trivial coverage about this company in the 1970s, coverage picked up by wire services and printed throughout the country.  Therefore, meets WP:GNG.   When I get a chance over the next few days I'll add some sources to the article and additional content.  RecycledPixels (talk) 19:34, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I've added some sources now. RecycledPixels (talk) 21:51, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep based on news sources provided by . While I can't access them, the sources' titles alone suggest that significant coverage is given. Comment: An article of this length could be split into sections for readability purposes.  TheTechnician27  (Talk page)  23:17, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep It existed. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 05:25, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , So? WP:ITEXISTS isn't a good reason to keep. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 10:20, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * It does not exist, so WP:ITEXISTS is irrelevant. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 10:38, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , same difference. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 11:10, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * No it isn't; you should spend more time learning English, or edit an alternative version of Wikipedia. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 11:17, 11 June 2019 (UTC)


 * To clarify,, WP:ITEXISTS does indeed apply to subjects that have existed at any point in time; specifically, it applies to any subject that is not a hoax, and it is an extremely weak argument.  TheTechnician27  (Talk page)  05:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


 * There is a rather significant difference between something currently existing, and something previously existing; exempli gratia, si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 05:56, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , not in the eyes of Wikipedia. If it exists or had existed and you argued notability based on that, WP:ITEXISTS applies. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I am Wikipedia. -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 12:49, 15 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Create WP:ITEXISTED, and add my offending vote to the page; as this is an examples of this happening. If this website still exists after we're all long dead, don't expect it to be the same as it is today; if it is, then I'll be immortalised!!! :D -- Shyam Has Your Anomaly Mitigated (talk) 13:09, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Keep The sourced added by RecycledPixels show that this airline received substantial coverage in newspapers across the United States for at least a few years. I think WP:GNG has been met. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:00, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
