Hellas Airlines

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An airline not yet operational, therefore inherently unencyclopedic (per WP:BALL) and not notable. Of course, the article is also to be deleted per WP:CORP, as Hellas Airlines has not been the subject of any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. --FoxyOrange (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2013 (UTC) FoxyOrange (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete There are hits on Google news for "Viking Hellas Airlines", which is evidence that the nomination did not click on Google news; so the notability argument is probably based on reading the article, and the crystal ball here is the assertion that "Hellas Airlines has not been the subject of any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources."  But this is a "high priority" article and has only the primary source.  There is a history for "Viking Hellas Airlines" covered at Fly Hellas, but I see nothing on the company website to connect the two.  The company website doesn't even seem to verify the asserted founding year of 2012.  Links to government certifications on the company website would be a start, a history of the company legal papers with dates, and most of all a record of coverage in secondary sources (i.e., newspapers) would help Wikipedia editors.

 * Delete This has got to be a vanity/internet hoax or scam of some kind. Even though there has been a press conference and a couple of news websites have reposted the "airline's" press release, the data about the fleet and the flights is ridiculous. Their Airbuses have a low consumption on oil, the "wanted" air stewardesses "must be able to carry baggage trailers 100kg or more"..., the person who started the greek article postponed the start of flights to "when pigs will fly"... etcetera - Badseed (talk) 18:37, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
