List of airports in Ohio

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a web directory. This information is just a reprint of the data in Airport and Facilities Directory. There are already several web sites (airnav, etc), which provide this type of on-line interface to the AFD data, using automated conversion of the FAA data feeds. Manually maintaining yet another copy adds no value, especially since it largely duplicates Category:Airports in Ohio -- RoySmith (talk) 14:09, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This is clearly a nomination which isn't garnering any support. I hereby withdraw my nomination.  -- RoySmith (talk) 04:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep, has enough other info to not merely be a duplication of the category. I don't think the nominator has really understood what is meant by "wikipedia is not a web directory." Of course we have many articles that are directory-like and we are on the web, but that isn't what is meant. It is to keep people from creating articles that are just lists of external links; wikipedia is a directory on the web but it is not a directory of the web. Recury 16:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Per precendent and poorly understood nomination. Just being a list is not grounds for deletion. i kan reed 19:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Recury and inappropriate nomination. This list meets WP:LIST by being informative and useful for navigation.  In additiona, as already noted, it is not a duplicate of the category.  -- Black Falcon 19:28, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Recury. Mathmo Talk 21:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
