Speedy Deletion?

I would like to nominate the adoption of a common set of criteria for the speedy deletion of pages on Wikipedia. Since this page is being nominated apply a common approach would involved deleting most of the pages on airlines in Wikipedia.

For example, we should be deleting most of the airlines listed under Template:Airlines of Canada then move on to most of the US and European airlines. After all the process of deleting articles is a good way of helping discourage contributions to Wikipedia and encourage people to contribute to organizations other than Wikipedia. --M@sk (talk) 13:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I should have added if notability is the concern you have, do a search on "NEWAIR" (the name they used until they were ready to launch the airline) and you will see there have been a fair number of articles in the globe and mail and other major papers. --M@sk (talk) 13:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most airlines with articles in Wikipedia have more than one plane, no? And if there are other non-notable airlines with article on Wikipedia, then the proper conclusion is that they can be deleted too, not that it justifies the addition of more. People should be discouraged from contributing articles to Wikipedia that don't conform with Wikipedia's and guidelines; I hope that people don't lose interest in participating in group efforts just because there are rules. Hopefully, many of them will be lead to WP:Welcome and WP:First article so that they understand what Wikipedia is about and will feel encouraged to contribute useful material.—Largo Plazo (talk) 13:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Give Enerjet a chance

I think this topic should be given a chance as Enerjet has a great chance in the canadian marketplace. Although it's starting off small, so did many of the other Canadian airlines, such as WestJet. Ksnaden (talk) 05:34, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Giving airlines a chance isn't Wikipedia's purpose. Under Wikipedia's guidelines, articles are not to be written for the purpose of benefiting their topic or to help them achieve notability. A topic is required to be notable when the article is written. Predictions of future notability don't apply. See WP:Notability and WP:Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:31, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
