A lack of sources, plethora of red links and WP:N make a deletion debate feasible. --Sigma Epsilon Chi (talk) 01:32, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep An airline with 11 large aircraft in operation for 12 years ought to pass notability. I added a ref to the NYTimes reporting the airline shutting down - if the NYTimes notices you go out of business, that probably says you were notable. The redlinks are because either the aricle's author misnamed the airports or the airport article has been renamed since this article was created. They'll be easy to fix.

- Comment I fixed the airport links. Do a gnews search of all dates - I used southeast airlines -"atlantic -southeast" to remove hits for the regional airline 'Atlantic Southeast Airlines'. I get 10 pages of hits, a good number of which are not tangential. MadScot (talk) 02:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or merge. Southeast Airline is name of Airline, just like Jet-Blue.--Freeway8 03:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There's nothing to merge it to, as far as I can tell. The airline wasn't taken over, it shut down. I'll note that there was also another Southeast Airlines before this one, there are accidents recorded in the 50s and 60s that I found while googling for this airline, which only started up in the 1990s.

- Keep per MadScot. JJL (talk) 04:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. there is definitely something here. In just a few minutes, I found enough sources to pass WP:CORP. The articles about the airline shutting down alone are enough to suggest notability. Trusilver 04:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Over 1000 Google News hits.[1] Easily passes WP:CORP. McWomble (talk) 08:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
