Category talk:Lists of airline destinations

Untitled

• I just did a quick review of the Airlines Destinations articles and have a serious concern about vital information missing from most articles. Of 10 quickly reviewed, only one referenced a date for when services to these destinations were effective. The nine others made no mention of any date or time referencing and so could be destinations served 10 years ago for all we know. This needs to be addressed and should be assured for all Airlines Destinations articles as soon as possible. Ardfern 20:16, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Include articles with integrated lists?

Should articles with airline destination lists included in their main article (such as Hawaiian Airlines be included in this category? -- Hawaiian717 20:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

List of...

Why are these not titled "list of...", as they are clearly lists? Should they be moved? Rigadoun (talk) 17:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Is this WP:SPAM?

The stuff in this section appears to be advertisements of the services these airlines offer -- not "notable, encyclopedic information" about these airlines. These is somewhat of a consensus to back it, but I have paranoid suspicions of company-funded sockpuppetry, the same as with Wikipedia's music and radio listings. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 07:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Discussion on retaining articles in this category

See Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Should Wikipedia have and maintain complete lists of airline destinations?. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Discussion was closed with a consensus that we should not have these articles [1]. Deletions will begin soon. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:49, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

This AN consensus overturned the deletion as out of policy deletion and the articles were restored.

22 of such kind of articles were taken to this AfD so as to be deleted according to policy.

The AfD was closed as Delete by Spartaz.

A subsequent Deletion Review Overturned the close with a with "a wide margin" –Ammarpad (talk) 18:14, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Definitions and standards as they apply to these lists

Now that the DRV discussion is closed, we still have the question of quality of the remaining destination articles. Rhadow (talk) 16:42, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Charter

Should Destinations include only regularly-scheduled places to which the airline offers common carriage?

Quality of reference

Should the category allow the subject's own route map as a sole reference? Should the category allow only dated route maps as a sole reference? Should the category require a third-party reference for entries on the destination list?

Should discontinued destinations require a third-party reference?

Codeshares and contract carriers

Does a codeshare destination count? In other words, if an airline can issue a ticket to a destination, but not fly its own aircraft, should it be able to claim a destination?

Prospective destinations

Is an announced destination eligible for inclusion? Or should we require the airline fly there first, before it is included?

Request for Comment: Hong Kong and Macau Airline Destination Country

I intend to leave it blank, but there is definitely an edit war spurring between different pages about "whether Hong Kong and Macau should be listed as a destination of the PRC" As I know, it is in different jurisdiction, thus I leave it blank.--1233^Talk 09:42, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

• @1233thehongkonger: Do you think the discussion at Talk:List_of_Singapore_Airlines_destinations#RfC would suffice, or do we need a separate discussion on a broader issue? Deryck C. 09:57, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @Deryck Chan: You didn't ping me. Ping 1233 instead of 1233thehongkonger. Thanks.--1233^Talk 12:12, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
