The article was created by copy-and-pasting content (without attribution) from existing articles, mainly the history and incidents sections of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport‎ and Shanghai Pudong International Airport‎. This duplication of content serves no useful purpose. Zanhe (talk) 02:06, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * The way Wiki naming conventions work, a "History of Foo" article generally represents overflow from an article entitled "Foo". But in this case, there is no Airports in Shanghai article. The initializer (talk) 02:25, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * zhwp's 上海機場 ("Airports in Shanghai", covering helicopter and military airports other than Hongqiao and Pudong) has a history section that is not a simple C/P from the two civil-use airports' articles. Delete this and port the zhwp article as a true Airports in Shanghai instead (need more sources though).  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 10:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reason for this article to exist; it covers only two airports...which already have their own articles. Pax 12:15, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
