Obvious advertisement, but not so blatant as to meet speedy deletion. I removed the speedy delete tag, and am posting here. Maintenance tags removed by others. Velocity Rewards has not received enough coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the program or company running the program to develop an attributable article on the topic. --  Jreferee  (Talk) 22:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, notability is not inherited, and there are insufficient third-party, reliable, non-trivial sources which would establish notability of this program in it's own right. Whilst it has no bearing on this AfD, Asia Miles did not survive AfD and Skywards was speedied as advertising. It is also common practice within Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines for FFP to be covered within the main article of the airline, such as AAdvantage which is now covered inline within the AA article. Additionally, the FFP articles seem to go against WP:NOT. --Russavia 06:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Weak delete While this entry would need plenty of work to remove the advertising feel, nonetheless this frequent flyer program is the second major program in Australia behind Qantas program. However, agree with previous comments that the subject is best handled within the main article of the airline (as is the case with Qantas). Murtoa 09:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as notability not demonstrated by article. --Gavin Collins 08:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge This should be merged into the parent article or just plain deleted. By itself, the article looks like a big ad describing the frequent flyer program for the airline.  Just noting that there is a frequent flyer program within the parent article is probably enough said about it.  -- Blind  Eagle  talk ~ contribs  15:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Virgin Blue I created this article and have tried hard to make it not sound as much like an advertisement. However I have found that there is not a lot of material to work with to substantiate a full article. Note that the prescence of this program is important, as it is the loyalty program of Australia's second-biggest airline. However I agree that it ay be better served featuring on Virgin Blue's site until it grows in stature. --Stuartfaz 11:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
