This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Aviation. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Aviation|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Aviation. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Declined prod. Sources added are all primary. I could not find indepth third party coverage to meet WP:ORG. There is no inherent notability in being a national association. LibStar (talk) 02:26, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Several independedent references now added. This should satisfy the criteria for notability. JMcC (talk) 07:50, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, as always, the fact that primary sources are used is not cause for deletion. The question is whether there are sources that could be cited, and I'd say that the evidence points to 'yes'. I note the mentions of SAC from 1946 ([1]), 1956 ([2] "SOARING ASSOCIATION OF CANADA The national gliding organization , the Soaring Asso- ciation of Canada , has been mentioned several times . It arose in 1944 from the need for a responsible body to represent glider pilots' interests to the Government, for a means of dissemination of news and information, and for a representative of the Federation Aeronautique International to issue soaring awards and homologate records"), from 1958 ([3], "Soaring Association of Canada , the national organization which now has 17 member clubs"), apparently issued pilot licenses around 1950 ([4]), organization involved in WWII efforts ([5]), same author ([6]), 1989 ([7], statement on prestige of SAC trophy), "...from the Soaring Association of Canada a Certificate of Honour for his creative work in the field of glider and sailplane design which helped to develop a constantly growing glider movement in Canada" ([8]), "[Soaring Association of Canada ( SAC ) was therefore formed in 1944 and a national charter was granted to the Association a year later . The first slate of officers elected was : J. A. Simpson , President ; Don MacClement..." ([9]), "... Soaring Association of Canada in 1944 sparked new interest , which has continued to the present day . The association , made up of 700 glider pilots in 28 clubs from coast to coast , marks soaring achievements by a traditional series of ..." ([10]), "... Soaring Association of Canada . This body has been approved of by the Department of Transport as well as the Royal Canadian Flying Club's Association and the representative of Federation Aéronautique International .

Per WP:GNG and WP:NORG – From what I've been able to find, none of the sources passed WP:SIRS since none of them contained any significant coverage of the airline itself and only contained more or less passing/trivial mentions of the airline. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source assessment table
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Yes Yes No Only mentioned four times as "InterAmérica" in tables. No coverage of the airline itself at all. ✘ No
Yes Yes No Just a short and brief explanation of what the airline was. Part of a list of defunct airlines in Mexico. ✘ No
Yes No sources cited for the information. The page of contributors doesn't inspire much confidence. No Barely any coverage of the airline itself. ✘ No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

Relisting comment: This article has existed since 2017 and the previous AfD was in 2010. Can we get a full search for recent sources?

  • Euroavia is an international body of aeronautics students, one of its chief aims being "to foster a spirit of co-operation among the future members of the aircraft industry".

    — Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom (1964). Flight: The Aircraft Engineer. Vol. 86. IPC Transport Press Limited. p. 311.

    Euroavia is the Association of European Aeronautical Students, founded in Aachen in 1959, to foster social, cultural and professional links between students and thus engineers in Europe.

    — "Euroavia rides again!". Aerospace. Vol. 8. Royal Aeronautical Society. 1981. p. 5.
    Maybe it is the looking for recent sources in the World Wide Web for something founded in 1959 that is the problem. I can source that introductory sentence from 2 sources, which can replace the non-independent sources used for the same in this article. There appears to be non-English sourcing that should be investigated, too. There's something of some sort in a 1959 issue of Flugwelt. I suggest checking out the old aerospace industry magazines.

Item #2 probably counts towards NORG. What I miss is extensive coverage in the news media. I will strike my delete, so not stand in the way of any decision. gidonb (talk) 17:01, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
