List of Boeing 737 orders

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete, nothing but a data dump that is ephemeral, unreferenced, and redundant to a better list. It's a list of customers who have ordered a product and whether or not that product has been delivered, and it's out of date because of course it is. That an order isn't yet filled is transitory, and that an order has been filled just seems like a very indirect way of saying which airlines have Boeing 737s in their fleet. For that, we already have List of Boeing 737 operators. See also prior AFD for similar list. Wikiproject:Aviation has been notified. postdlf (talk) 22:31, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - with no references this fails WP:N. Out of date and non-encyclopedic topic. - Ahunt (talk) 22:52, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. A big order of 737's might itself draw some coverage in reliable sources, as one such order can be an economic indicator; multiple orders can signal a trend, or a recovery in that sector of the industry, etc and so on. But, in and of themselves, the orders aren't notable. Unusual or particularly significant orders can be noted in the article on the 737 (such as first order, largest order, last order, etc).

 * Weak Keep (changed to wk)- It's a major extremely used aircraft and a list of its operators is notable. We don't need the New York Times to tell us that.--Oakshade (talk) 02:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * List of Boeing 737 operators is not listed for deletion. postdlf (talk) 02:59, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Will always admit when I'm mistaken. But it's still, orders of this extremely notable aircraft, historic or current, is a noteworthy topic.  Again, we don't need sources to explain that to us, although a browse through Airliners (magazine) does the duties. --Oakshade (talk) 04:05, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Arbitrarily listed to one (admittedly hugely popular) aircraft type and manufacturer, and it really doesn't tell us anything. Which planes were ordered when? In what size batches?  Really, it's just a giant tally sheet.  This belongs on a Boeing page (where it appears to have been sourced from in the first place) rather than as a separate list.
