Delete, airport is not in existence yet. Can be rewritten when it's built. Suggest moving to userspace at most Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:13, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, clear WP:CRYSTAL violation.  Jd 027  (talk) 20:11, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I do not consider this article a WP:CRYSTAL violation. The crystal policy is meant to prevent users from uploading unverified speculation and personal opinions. All of the information listed comes from a government report by the Turkish Ministry of Transportation, which is a very reliable and expert source for this particular subject. Furthermore, the policy actually states that articles about future events are allowed to exist if they can be verified. This article meets this requirement.

 * Keep:I don't think there is a rule which prohibits articles about structures which are not finished yet. The airports are notable and the author presents sources about the airport project. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:50, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: I have added as much as specific references/citations to this article from reputable sources such as Ministry of Transport, local newspapers. This project is ongoing and appearing in relevant government working paperwork as a future regional airport.Haksal (talk) 07:07, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, and urge those claiming WP:CRYSTAL violation to actually read that policy. It only prohibits unverifiable speculation, not verifiable content about planned events or works. Major infrastructure projects spend many years in planning and construction, and typically get more coverage in those stages than after they are completed. Such coverage can be found cited in the article and from the news search that I linked above. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, and agree with Phil. If for any reason construction doesn't go ahead the article can be updated to reflect that. But there are definite plans that are moving ahead. WP:CRYSTAL would cover, for example, an article saying an airport will be built based solely on a politician running for office saying "Let's build an airport".
