Saratoga County Airport

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

A small county airport. Article is very difficult to read, and seems to be a list of 'features', most of which are not explained, and would not make sense to somebody who was not familiar on the subject. Fusion Mix  21:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, NN general aviation airport with no tower and dawn-dusk operation. --Dhartung | Talk 21:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep improved article. --Dhartung | Talk 05:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, I don't see any possibility of even making this article a decent stub. The Alan Smithee (talk) 21:42, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean-up.  Airports are notable and like the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of existing Wikipedia airport articles, this can easily be cleaned up to be a decent stub.  See similar Half Moon Bay Airport for a good example.  Serves the 25,000+ city of Saratoga Springs, New York. --Oakshade (talk) 21:57, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Earlier in my Wikipedia "career" I was happy to delete rivers, streams, towns, schools, etc. which did not seem notable. But the consensus seems to be that certain kinds of things are inherently notable, so now I go with the flow. Airports are one of those kinds. There are lots more airport stubs like this one.

 * Comment - I renamed the article "Saratoga County Airport." --Oakshade (talk) 00:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Oakshade has turned the article into a decent stub for a regional airport. • Gene93k (talk) 01:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. All public-use airports are notable. This was just an article that needed renaming and some improvements, not deletion. I have expanded the article by adding statistics and a references section, plus a link to the airport's page in the New York State DOT Airport Directory. At this point I'd say it certainly meets the "decent stub" criteria mentioned previously. -- Zyxw (talk) 02:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

♠Return to Original Page.I believe the reason the page was created was to create a reference for pilots. If worse came to worse, they would have somewhere to go. Just because the type is not understandable to everyone, doesn't make it worthless. I liked it as it was, as it was true, and had some important information on it.
