Talkeetna Air Taxi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

While it's founder was notable as an aviation pioneer in Alaska, notability is not inherited. The only source identified is a NY Times article from 1971 that seems to be about the pilot, not the airline. One of hundreds of air taxis in interior Alaska.

 * Weak keep. Possibly enough coverage to justify retention. I haven't had time to look through all 160 Google News Archive results just yet, but from what I have seen, we have this story from 1989, this from 1983 (more about a person than the company, but possibly enough coverage to be useful), and some more recent event-based coverage here. Very close to the boundary of WP:CORP, but possibly the right side of it. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:20, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep It's about a local outfit that has been there for over 50 years. Looks like there is enough news about the place to ref, and it's the kind of place people would want to be able to find on WP–the encyclopedia for the 21st century–not just monkeys and mountains, as in previous centuries. Though, I suppose this is about airplanes and mountains... It would make me proud to be an editor if we kept this one. -Paulmnguyen (talk) 01:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
