Non-notable company, fails to meet WP:CORP, essentially a spam article. Ahunt (talk) 16:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete non-notable flying school one of many thousands none of any particular note and I cant see anything notable about this one. MilborneOne (talk) 16:36, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete; seems to be short of notability, it's just another routine organisation. bobrayner (talk) 17:15, 23 July 2012 (UTC) Striking out my earlier !vote; I think the sources found by Northamerica1000 shift the balance a bit. bobrayner (talk) 08:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep – This topic actually easily passes WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG, per the following significant coverage in reliable sources:, , , . There's also this article, but unsure about the source's reliability: . Northamerica1000(talk) 07:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC) (Modified my above !vote.) Northamerica1000(talk) 22:49, 29 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: Thanks for finding those - I obviously missed those sources among the many different companies with the same name. While some of the refs look a bit like press releases, most look fine as refs. I'm going to leave this to run to see if anyone else has any comments or other sources to add. - Ahunt (talk) 10:01, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment refs are mainly rubbish stuff, it may prove it exists but nothing shows it other than a standard flying school. Significant coverage it is not. MilborneOne (talk) 18:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I disagree with the content of the sources I have provided being generically described as "rubbish stuff", a weasel phrase that doesn't state/qualify why or how. Here's some quotes from the articles:
 * Sun Star –  : "SUBIC FREEPORT -- Unknown to many Filipinos, our country is in to be in step with other progressive ASEAN countries like Malaysia to own or introduce top-of-the-line US-made Redbird flight simulators. And that is through the efforts of Omni Aviation Corporation (OAC), which is decidedly considered the Philippines' premier flight instruction and aviation service provider based in Clark Field."
 * Manila Bulletin –  : "MANILA, Philippines — Omni Aviation Corporation (OAC), a flight instruction and aviation service provider based in Clark Field, is literally ready for take-off as the very first aviation school in the country today and second only in the whole of Asia to introduce the revolutionary Redbird flight simulators."
 * Manila Bulletin –  : "As testament of patronage to Omni’s quality and honest service, foreign students continue to flock to its Clark Field main branch, prompting Gomez to shortly open another branch in Subic which aims to accommodate more students and to decongest its main branch at Clark Field, Pampanga."
 * Manila Bulletin –  : "Captain Ben Hur Gomez, Omni chairman and chief executive, said the Subic facility is part of his company’s vision to become the premier pilot school and fixed-base operator in the Southeast Asian region. Investing P33 million for its start-up operations here, Omni will use the facility for its instruction room, flight demonstration room, administration office, and conference room. Six aircrafts, including four for the flying school and two for chartering services, will be dedicated for the Subic operation."
 * Additionally, more sources about this topic are available on the internet. Northamerica1000(talk) 23:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment you are clearly reading the articles form a different angle:
 * Sun Star [6] Is a publicity release from the school about using some basic flight simulators, nearly all of it discusses the training devices. Omni Aviation is not the only training school with a simulator.
 * Manila Bulletin [7] is the same story self-publicity article on simulators as the Sun Star
 * Manila Bulletin [8] is again a self-publicity story claiming that the school doesnt cheat and follows all the rules,l see nothing notable in that 99% of flight schools would say that dont break any rules.
 * Manila Bulletin [9] another self-publicity bit from Captain Gomez, we have a new school, not the only new flying school to get a bit of local publicity.
 * So what we have is four references to support non-notabilty, it is a flying school, it has aircraft and simulator, thats about it. MilborneOne (talk) 11:51, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree with MilborneOne: it is a non-notable flight school, the article itself looks a bit aimed at promoting the flight school.... --CeruttiPaolo (talk) 22:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - This seems to be a subjective proclamation about your opinion of the school itself. How is the school non-notable per WP:N and WP:GNG? Northamerica1000(talk) 23:38, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
