I nominated this article for deletion a while back but withdrawn on the premise that it would be expanded beyond notability. However, information about this airline apart that it was "to be created" is noexistent. At this point, since it seems that the airline has not been established, I think this could be a clear case of WP:CRYSTAL. Not to mention that it doesn't meet WP:GNG too, since most available information talks about how it was supposed to be created, and all sources who happen to mention it only repeat the same thing. — ΛΧΣ  21    Call me Hahc21  23:17, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete, unless... ...these sources I just found are new. They may just be old news with a new date. I'd like second opinion. Some seem to have today's date, but start with "In 2012..." sort of thing. I think they've been approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China now and are starting to build, according to some of those sources. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:22, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - The abovementioned sources #1 (October 16, 2012), #2 (August 20, 1012), #3 (October 17, 2012) and #4 (October 25, 2012) are clearly dated; #5 and #6 are in Chinese characters; and #7 is a dead link. I quote from WP:CRYSTAL: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." This announcement was made 15 months ago, and nothing came of it. Kraxler (talk) 12:55, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the above links. These seem to say definitively, and this year, that approval has been granted: What do you think? Does WP:CRYSTAL still call for delete? One question is: is it an airline right now? Anyway, if it's a delete, it can be recreated. If there will be regular news to help expand the article, then maybe a keep. Either way, I'm fine with it. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:31, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Those two are in Chinese. Non-English sources can be accepted under certain circumstances, if somebody translates them, per WP:Sources. Would you care to have a complete translation of both sources made by a third party and posted here? Since the company is nowhere (except right here) mentioned in Latin script (per Google) it still won't meet WP:GNG, I suppose. You're quite correct, the article could be recreated as soon as the airline starts operations, or gets mentioned anywhere in the English-speaking universe. That shouldn't be difficult since all operating airlines get listed by IATA or some other international aviation organization. Kraxler (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * A third party translation is too much bother in this case. The article just doesn't have enough value right now. I'm moving to delete (and will strike the "delete unless" to make life easier for the closer). Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per Kraxler. We can always restore a copy if/when this org gets up in the air. Right now, it has little value to visitors as it is still virtually a non-entity. Sorry to waste everyone's time creating this in the first place. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:56, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
