American Flight Airways

Non-notable online organization; Google search reveals no references outside virtual airline directories. Canwolf 20:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I typed it inot google and the first one up was AFA's home page. Thats where all the information came from. ArmoredPersonel 21:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This Virtual Airlines has over 300 active pilots and is an active FS community, worthy to be mentioned on wikipedia. Tsnwrangler 21:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as spam; however, the idea is encyclopedic so perhaps an article on virtual airlines would be appropriate —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardshusr (talk • contribs) 07:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if independent secondary sources are not provided, as per Wikipedia:Notability. The article could be considered spam. --SmokeyJoe 09:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Every bit of information is from AFA's site. Its from their operation manual, fleet page, and other tabs on their site. Look them up why don't you. ArmoredPersonel 20:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you need to look at Wikipedia's guidelines concerning articles on corporations and organizations. Also look at the guidelines regarding websites, notability and reliable sources. --Richard 23:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletions. -- Gavin Collins 21:55, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable and lacking any reliable and independent sources. However, it is verifiable, yet not literally a copyvio - the language has been changed enough. Bearian 18:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got the approval from the CEO and founder of AFA to make this page. He allowed me to use most if not all of the info. He said it didn't bother him if I copied and pasted the info (which I didn't). Please don't delete this page. ArmoredPersonel 22:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is susceptible to being considered spam advertising by the company. This means that you need to prove that independent sources have written about this company, about what it does. Ask the CEO for some published independent reviews of his company, and then re-write the article based on the reviews. You can use the company website to source facts, but you must have at least one or two independent sources to demonstrate notability. --SmokeyJoe 00:57, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
