Talk:Northwest Arkansas National Airport

Dallas Love Field and McCarran

An IP editor has claimed that flights to Dallas and McCarran will begin in 2014. I have removed that claim until a reliable source is provided. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:12, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

The claim that Southwest was to serve the airport came to me through airliners.net, which is not necessarily always accurate, but mostly so., civil aviation nuts so to speak. This is the thread in which it is discussed and reference is made to the Wiki info being removed and restored:

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5947861/

More importantly, Southwest has announced its schedule for next summer and no mention is made (so far) of serving XNA. It does not appear in the forward schedules nor on the airline's route map as in this link:

http://www.southwest.com/html/cs/travel_center/routemap_dyn.html

It is, of course, always possible that Southwest intends to serve XNA one day - and may yet do so next summer - but again, it has not announced any intention of doing so yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marinerpacific (talk • contribs) 07:45, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, Marinerpacific. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Passenger table

It is completely unnecessary to list the exact number of passengers at XNA every year since opening. This is an indiscriminate list of raw data with no meaning to most users. The only thing most readers need to take away from this is a growing trend. Anyone interested in the litany of passenger data can click the reference. I don't care what happens on other pages, this is a useless eyesore with almost no value. Brandonrush Woo pig sooie! 22:06, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

@Brandonrush: To be honest, I have hemmed and hawed over this myself. I don't mind it on one hand, but on the other, I do not like using those tables at all. We already list the previous year's information in the airport infobox, and as you rightly pointed out, people can go to the airport data page to see historical information. My standard is I try to list only three columns worth of years, and then remove the oldest ones once three columns is exceeded. Some pages indeed go ridiculous with the amount of years they list; just last week, I removed the oldest years at Dallas/Fort Worth because they had info going back to its opening in 1974 (and some of it wasn't even cited)! Per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, we really don't need to be listing the info at all and I would support removing the table entirely. However, once something becomes standard on the pages, you will get a lot of flack if you attempt to remove. I think we could get away with removing here, but elsewhere you would have to get consensus at WP:AIRPORTS. Blissfield101 (talk) 22:55, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Destination Maps

The purpose provides a visual location of destinations. These types of visuilazations is typically encouraged in wikipedia as it provided more information. A number of airports with maps have more passenger traffic, destination, etc. than this (ie. John Wayne, SW FL Int'l, Buffalo-Niagra, Reno–Tahoe Int'l, Will Rogers World Airports...).. As long as it doesn't overclutter the map to where it's hard to read or outdate, I've found no reason for removal.Dmm1169 (talk) 04:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
