Sir Reginald Myles Ansett
I tried to redirect this to Gold Airways, since this article has nothing to do with the title (and should be at Reginald Myles Ansett anyway), but since Gold Airways already exists, and this article has nothing to do with the title, and since a redirect to Gold Airways of this title would be inappropriate, I vote to delete this article.

 * Keep - incorrect page naming convention but should be rediredcted. Ansett is a significant figure and probably warrants an entry albeit with relevant content. Andypasto 06:01, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename. Founded a major Australian airline Ansett airlines. Also founded Pioneer bus service which merged with Greyhound's bus service. Notable figure in Australian transport. I will work on fixing article. Should be known as Reg Ansett as that was the name he was commonly known as. Capitalistroadster 11:46, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Have created an article under the name of Reg Ansett. I would now propose that we delete this article. On reflection, I doubt that many people would search for Ansett under this term. Capitalistroadster 12:57, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to either Reginald Ansett or Reg Ansett, agree with Capitalistroadster. I've never heard of him referred to by three names before. --bainer 13:06, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Move what? the article says nothing about him and all about the airline.  RickK 21:20, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming this nomination is either a joke, or someone trying (badly) to prove a point. Reg Ansett was one of Australia's best-known business magnates. Oh and he also founded one of the largest companies in the country. Keep. --Gene_poole 04:17, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Think you've missed the point - the content of this article has nothing to do with Ansett. Andypasto 11:57, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Did you even read the article? There is nothing in it about Reg Ansett.  RickK 00:50, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * I always read articles nominated for deletion. Bad content is not a valid deletion criterion and never has been. --Gene_poole 02:27, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * So you would vote keep on any nonsense article with a plausible title? RickK 19:47, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, there is an good article on the same topic at Reg Ansett thanks to Capitalroadster--nixie 04:26, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Then let's make this a redirect to that. RickK 19:47, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * DELETE for reasons stated above.
