Liberty Helicopter Sightseeing Tours

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod, non-notable helicopter tour operator one of many even in the New Yorka area. Added due to a news event but it still remains a self-referenced non-notable company MilborneOne (talk) 19:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Delete  - Redirect– As one event. There is no coverage of the company other than that tragic event.  ShoesssS Talk 20:05, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to 2009 Hudson River mid-air collision. This is a clear case of a non-notable organisation involved in a notable event, so in many cases a redirect from the name of the organisation to the event is appropriate if the former is or is likely to become a useful search term. In this case I can't decide whether the redirect would be valuable or not. Thryduulf (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment – I could see a Redirect, in that the company is named in the main article. ShoesssS Talk 21:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep First, One event applies only to people, according to the link given by Shoessss.  Second, there are many prior entries for this in Google news archive:  phttp://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Liberty+Helicopter%22+Sightseeing+Tours+&scoring=a&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2004&as_hdate=2005&lnav=hist7] They seem to have been a long established major company in the business.  DGG ( talk ) 22:43, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being an established business doesn't confer notability, as many AfD debates have shown. If a company is known only for one news event, the usual practice is to have an entry for the event, not the company. Hairhorn (talk) 18:45, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
