The result was Draftify. This seems to be the best plan to retain the article and its history until/if RecycledPixels can work on it. Black Kite (talk) 00:16, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Pacific Flying Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Purely promotional WP:SPAM article, tagged for six years, non-notable organization, fails WP:ORG. Ahunt (talk) 02:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I'm seeing enough non-trivial coverage in various BC newspapers over the years to where I believe the subject satisfies WP:ORG.  Agree that it currently reads like an advertisement, but that calls for editing, not deletion.  I'll try to get some of those sources added to the article over the next few days.  I just searched for "Pacific Flying Club" in Newspapers.com and turned up articles in The Surry Leader (Surry, BC), The Province (Vancouver BC), Richmond Review (Richmond, BC), The Vancouver Sun (Vancouver, BC), just at a glance.

 * Yes, Sorry. My Newspapers.com subscription through the Wikipedia Library just terminated.  I have requested, and have been approved for, a renewal, I am just waiting to hear from the company to reactivate the subscription.  I should have jumped on it while I still had it and everything was up on my screen.  RecycledPixels (talk) 05:52, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not finding any compelling WP:SIGCOV to pass the WP:NORG standard. Hit results on newspapers.com is not the same as WP:SIGCOV Sulfurboy (talk) 14:58, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * To be clearer, I wasn't seeing "hits" on newspapers.com, I was seeing multiple, non-trivial articles in regionally-significant news sources that discussed the company in detail.  I'll post sources when I can (see above about my account temporarily being unavailable).  RecycledPixels (talk) 05:56, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
