List of the world’s biggest airports by gates

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be WP:LISTCRUFT. Also has no sourcing, and doesn't appear to be accurate. The list includes airports with only 11 gates, but somehow has excluded Tijuana International Airport which has 23 gates. I only looked for one omission as I was suspicious that the list contained obvious errors. However, there's a good chance further inspection would reveal more. -War wizard90 (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

KEEP

But if you feel that it is not, than by all means complete the list. Mannytzohar (talk) 05:39, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The article is about Gates, but Specifically ones with Aerobridges, Tijuana International Airport may have 23 gates, but only has 10 Aerobridges.
 * Like most statistics on Wikipedia, this one refrains from being a complete list, and airports having 10 or less Aerobridges, in my opinion, are less significant to the individuals interested in this subject.

 * Delete All lists are listcruft, but this is totally pointless. I can't believe any reader would be interested in this trivia.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 17:53, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Debate here maintains that the list is by a criterion not announced in the list title, when the list's title explicitly announces a criterion. I.e. if the justification for a list is that it is ranked by size, popularity, height, mass, or date, then its value hinges upon that criterion being of value (and, by extension, notable). Here, the criterion is "gate," but then it's not. The case is made impossible. (And, incidentally, why a "clean" list of this sort would pass is also debatable. Is number of gates a significant selection criterion?) Hithladaeus (talk) 17:57, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * KEEP People are interested in such subjects.  to name a few. (Mannytzohar (talk) 08:24, 13 June 2015 (UTC))

 * Keep - The number of gates is a significant selection criterion, by being a number in itself. References to blogs is the most accurate source when it comes to interest in a subject, many people will have a need for such information. 122.105.193.144 (talk) 12:52, 16 June 2015 (UTC) — 122.105.193.144 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete Confirms !vote. None of even slightly more prominent reliable publications did airport gate number rankings, as deeply back as I can see. If keepers cannot produce better sources (that is not self-published, unlike forum posts or blogs) to establish the notability, this will be well into the deletion pit.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 08:42, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
