List of busiest airports in Gulf Countries

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

recently created orphan article duplicating List of the busiest airports in the Arab states of Persian Gulf; table claiming 2011 Statistics (Full Year preliminary) is mostly a duplicate of the 2010 table in List of the busiest airports in the Arab states of Persian Gulf and seems to contain 2010 data (sources are the same in both articles, and are in many cases unusable); cut'n'paste of the article introductions of the listed airports does not improve a list article, only creates problems later when the texts get out of sync Lumialover2 (talk) 21:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Article is too similar to List of the busiest airports in the Arab states of Persian Gulf.--Riverrunner123 (talk) 03:14, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Riverrunner123. Too many similar lists, creating more maintenance headaches and inconsistencies.BennyHillbilly (talk) 07:59, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of the busiest airports in the Arab states of Persian Gulf, which currently consists only of the 2010 table. I have not checked if this ios the result of text being moved to the current article.  It would do no harm to have both tables in the same article.

 * If you would read my AfD justification you would understand why your suggestion does not make sense. Lumialover2 (talk) 14:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
