Spirit of Delta
an article about a singel commercial airplane, whose only claim to fame is that it has a name and was the firwst of its type owned by a particular airline. Doesn't seem notable to me. Delete DES (talk) 17:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Advertising; the only significant thing about the aircraft is Delta's promotional use of it. No potential to become encyclopedic; this article will never be more than a substub. I just put a link to the external image in Boeing 767. (Possibly might be worth including in the Delta Air Lines article too). Dpbsmith (talk) 17:29, 24 September 2005 (UTC) Changed vote.
 * Comment: there's already a long paragraph about the plane in the Delta Air Lines article. The plane is, in fact, much more notable than the stub article indicates; it was bought & paid for by the employees and retirees, through a voluntary contribution scheme, and there was a lot of press attention, etc., at the time, as a story about the loyalty of the employees and so forth. As it happens, I actually wrote up an article about Spirit of Delta a while ago, but then read what was in the main Delta article, and decided it did not really merit an article on its own.
