Louisiana Airways

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Airline that never got started, fails WP:N as it has no reliable sources. Pie is good  (Apple is the best)  00:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Bring it back when it is flying. Forego (talk) 00:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom. – Jerry  teps  00:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete peripheral mentions only . JJL (talk) 00:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it actually gets started. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Tavix (talk) 01:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per Tavix. Wait until it's actually started, or until there's more to say about it (i.e., more reliable source coverage). This is a perma-stub for something non-notable. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 02:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Neutral per Eastmain. Only one of the sources is substantially about the article. But I usually trust Eastmain's judgment, as they're really good at WP:HEY. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 17:29, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added a reference. Even if the airline never flew, it was once notable, as shown by the media coverage it received from multiple sources late in 2004. And once notable, always notable. I can't find anything that explains when or why it went out of business. --Eastmain (talk) 05:20, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * To reply from my talk page, sorry, 3 cites isn't enough to establish notability. Pie is good   (Apple is the best)  23:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete If the airline never flew, then the article is highly unlikely to ever advance beyond stub status. Notability was very definitely marginal. If it would have failed WP:CRYSTAL as a prospective airline, there's certainly no reason to include it as an airline that never made it to flight. RayAYang (talk) 17:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Does seem to have multiple WP:RS's that keep WP:V possible. So what if it does not go much beyond a perma-stub, thats allowed. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  09:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - it never existed as an operating airline. Bearian (talk) 18:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The Wiki if full of "things that never were" how can that (alone) be reason to delete? Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  06:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
