Previous AfD could not find a consensus, hopefully we can now, especially as it has been tagged for notability for over 8 years now. It existed, but I couldn't find the sources to establish WP:NOTABILITY. Boleyn (talk) 14:35, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- I've see this article before via CAT:NN and was unable to find sufficient sources either. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:01, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Previous discussion does show multiple secondary source coverage, particularly those found by User:RioHondo, including coverage by the Wall Street Journal. Just because the company is now defunct doesn't nullify its notability.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  10:18, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy KeepAirline plainly existed. I searched WSJ (thanks to  O BSIDIAN 's comment) and I just sourced 1996 founding to a long, detailed, reported article in the Wall Street Journal. A commercial carrier is certainly notable.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:53, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Ran it through a news archive search at Proquest; lots of articles as this "rural feeder airline" expands, gets new routes, has trouble getting govt. permission for direct flights to Australia, makes a good profit, etc. ... Article can certainly be expanded and sourced.   What I did not  spot wan an article about it's closing.  Although there was this (Senator pushes for perks to lure

Constantino;Senator pushes for perks to lure Constantino, Nelson V. BusinessWorld (Nov 14, 2001): 1. (Nov 14, 2001): 1. with this: "Mindanao Express, has temporarily suspended operations in Mindanao," It was,, unfortunately, in that article's abstract on the search list. Full text of this article not available. No other articles in that search postdate 2001.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:04, 21 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – Appears to meet WP:CORPDEPTH per the analysis of available sources provided above by E.M.Gregory (e.g. Proquest search results). While it would be nice for the sources to be available without a Proquest account, I AGF about the analysis of them provided. North America1000 06:30, 29 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Are airlines considered notable for simply having existed? The WSJ coverage above looks like WP:NEWS to me. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
