Olympic Airlines Privatization

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

Delete and merge acceptable content to Olympic Airlines - article needs major rewite to be neutral and encyclopedic - currently reads like a POV fork. Contains original research and synthesis. Mfield (talk) 19:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome to improve it.Schwertleite (talk) 08:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

After I saw the recent cleanup of the article I change my vote to:
 * Delete . Unnecessary POV fork. Dr.K. logos 19:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge acceptable content to Olympic Airlines. Dr.K. logos 15:18, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I would say merge, but all of it is covered with more detail at Olympic Airlines. Thanks,  Genius  101 Guestbook  19:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. The ongoing privatization of Olympic is an interesting case of management failure by the Greek state and and so it is interesting on its own, apart from the history of Olympic itself. It is a show case for the longstanding question "public or private", whose importance is far greater than the fate of Olympic itself. It is certainly untrue that "all of it is covered with more detail at Olympic Airlines". In fact, this claim contradicts the other claims about lack of neutrality. Concerning neutrality, please include other points of view. Schwertleite (talk) 08:25, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. Several changes have been made to address concerns of neutrality.85.72.178.92 (talk) 10:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Do not delete. No more traces of synthesis.77.49.102.162 (talk) 11:23, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. It is no more true that the article "may contain an unpublished synthesis of published material that conveys ideas not verifiable with the given sources".85.72.178.92 (talk) 11:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Aside from the bits I have just removed. "This is a long awaited development by many" and "The Olympic Airlines case has been a case of company mismanagement after nationalization by the Greek state", neither of which are neutral or attributed, rather they have been inferred.

 * Comment with a major rewrite and trim, the article now has got past some of the original problems. Now what we have is a neutral presentation of confirmable facts which is what an encyclopedia article should be. Thing is, there is not enough material to really justify a stand alone article, a problem that stems in part from their not being enough viewpoints represented. What are the implications, what of the future, what are labor unions saying etc. etc. As it stands it could easily be merged into Olympic Airlines. The alternative is to make it more comprehensive, right now it is just another click that readers have to make. Mfield (Oi!) 15:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree. All this information can easily be merged in the main article. The main article can accomodate this material without the need to have a separate article as per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. If in the future the subject matures and more information becomes available it could become an independent article. Dr.K. logos 15:30, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge There is no needfor a separate article, Ut would do better & be more easily findable within the main articlesDGG (talk) 16:14, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
