Contested proposed deletion. Reason for proposal is that Wikipedia is not a directory, reason for removal is that this is "standard content for airlines" however I don't believe it is the case that we have a seperate article listing every single place an airline flies to. Hubs? Sure. Whole other countries? Makes sense. Every little town in Alaska that this regional provider flies to? Not so much. Beeblebrox ( talk) 18:18, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

- I removed it from that delsort list. It is already included in the Alaska list, of which the US list is the "parent". Beeblebrox ( talk) 20:14, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- Every thorough airline article of which I'm aware has a section for "destinations", and most of these lead to a spinoff article with a complete list. For example Southwest Airlines destinations, American Airlines destinations, Delta Air Lines destinations, etc. Category:Lists of airline destinations contains 439 such lists (plus a few more in subcategories). Why delete this one at the cost of completeness, just because the airports are smaller than usual? -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 20:23, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- Those others should probably go as well. The issue isn't the size of the airports, it's the appearance of Wikipedia becoming a sales catalog for these airlines. Explaining what region they operate in and where the hubs are is more than sufficient information for a general-knowledge encyclopedia. Listing every destination crosses over into a catalog.

- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pages in Category:Lists of airline destinations, snow-kept in 2015. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Airlines destinations, also a group nomination of all such lists, kept in 2007. There are probably others. postdlf ( talk) 01:38, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
- I must admit I was unaware of those previous discussions. I think AFD might not be the correct forum and a broader RFC may be in order. Therefore I withdraw this nomination and since nobody else has commented in favor of deletion we can call it a speedy keep. Beeblebrox ( talk) 17:48, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
