List of airlines of New Brunswick

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article says that there are no airlines of New Brunswick. Therefore should not be made until there are airlines. Whenaxis (talk) 23:06, 29 March 2010 (UTC) However, I can see why this list was created: the navigation template is created by a generic template:, and it links to all states regardless of whether there are articles. That template should really use #ifexist: tests to avoid generating permanent redlinks. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:31, 30 March 2010 (UTC) List of airlines in Alaska, List of airlines in Hawaii and the categories in Category:Airlines of the United States, you have to delete the articles in Canada as well.

 * Delete This article is pointless. RadManCF  &#x2622; open frequency 23:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete If there are no airlines, then there shouldn't be an article on them.Dinosaur Dan1 (talk) 23:57, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per WP:CSD "no meaningful content". Articles which say "this topic does not exist" are a waste of the reader's time.

 * Delete - Completely and utterly pointless page. If something doesn't exist, then we shouldn't have a page that says as much. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) &#124; (talk to me) &#124; (What I've done)  15:12, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Per no meaningful content. Howan (talk) 18:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added a notable defunct airline. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:41, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, given that an airline has been found and it's no longer empty. I don't know if it counts as an "airline" or not, but Forest Protection Limited (the people who do the aerial photography, crop spraying, area searches etc) are based in New Brunswick as well. – iride  scent  11:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - As the nominator, we should actually keep the defunct airlines in the List of defunct airlines of Canada or we have to add defunct airlines to the other list of airlines lists.. Whenaxis (talk) 15:54, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Do we really need any "List of airlines by individual state or province within a country which already has a country-level list anyway" articles? YMMV, I suppose, but I don't think we do; the physical location of the head office doesn't constitute a meaningful or encyclopedic distinction between two airlines operating in the same country. Delete all "airlines by subnational division" lists. Bearcat (talk) 22:12, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Why would you do that for? Then you have to delete articles for the couple of states in the U.S.A:
 * Delete While these sort of lists can be relevant if there are actually a significant number of airlines based in a province, they become somewhat pointless when there's only two defunct airlines and no current ones. If a list is to be relevant, there need to be more than two actual items in that list. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 02:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect this and similar lists to List of airlines of Canada. I don't see the need for these spinouts, especially articles that are almost empty.  Them  From  Space  05:58, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment But you don't get it! List of airlines of New Brunswick is the only list that it is 'almost' empty. The rest of them have long enough lists and notable airlines. Whenaxis (talk) 10:59, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? List of airlines of Prince Edward Island only has one airline, and List of airlines of Nova Scotia and List of airlines of Yukon only have two. Those are hardly substantial lists either. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 16:51, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * True, but List of airlines of Nova Scotia has a notable airline: Air Canada Jazz and List of airlines of Yukon has a notable airline which is well known in the Canadian north: Air North, however, Prince Edward Island is questionable. But New Brunswick is even worse than these, no current airlines and only defunct airlines, at least these ones have airlines assigned. Whenaxis (talk) 21:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * One very notable airline and one not-so-notable airline still isn't exactly justification for a list in either of those two cases. All of the short lists are probably better off being merged, but I agree that the New Brunswick list is a bit more exceptional in its insignificance.

 * Keep per Iridescent. Changes to the article have made it reasonable to keep. Outback the Koala (talk) 09:50, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems like WP:OTHERCRAP is being used to try and get this deleted. It could use a bit of stylizing to make it look better and that won't take much.  Table the current listings and added notes about when those two particular airlines were in operation, that would enhance the article.   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 10:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of airlines of Canada. Dew Kane (talk) 05:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of airlines of Canada it is not that big a list, if really needed a province column could be added. MilborneOne (talk) 19:21, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
