Ush Tobe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article has been tagged as lacking sources since 2006 and I don't think the airport still exists. Having checked for sources I am not able to find any reliable sources. The article gives the location as 50.55667°N, 66.765°W and an elevation of 326 m. However some of the sources, Our Airports for example, gives a location at 50.5762°N, 66.7422°W and an elevation of 300 m. The article also states that the runway is 1,480 m and has a concrete surface. Looking at both coordinates in Google Earth it can be seen that there is an aircraft icon on both locations but if there had been a concrete runway there then some evidence of that should remain.

Delete: While Google Earth is reliable, it could be outdated. Also, per WP:DELETE. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 01:24, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment. This seems to be a previousl location of karaganda Airport. Presubmably defunct now. It is in principle notable, but I was not able to find reliable sources in Russian.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:52, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Notability is not temporary, so that the airport doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. Do we have a notability standard that directly applies to airports? I would think they have presumed notability, but I can't find a guideline that says anything either way. --BDD (talk) 23:49, 4 June 2013 (UTC)


 * If it was Sary-Arka Airport then that's a 478 km move, which seems a bit much. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 06:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I do not think the location is correct. Ush-Tobe is an eastern suburb of Karaganda.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:46, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the airport is not named after the locality? Try looking for airports near Vostochnyy, Kostanay. The national airport code seems to be KZ-0063. Funny  Pika! 19:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I did find this WP:WikiProject Airports/Notability, which would suggest that small airports are not inherently notable. Given the difficulty in finding whether this even exists, I don't think this would make it past WP:GNG. Funny  Pika! 19:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
