Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FlyMe (Maldivian Airline)
nbsp; Public-transport airlines are public sector institutions which means that governments give such airlines attention, the public makes themselves aware of their services, and are generally notable.&nbsp; Government officials fly in public-transport airplanes, so there is a strong bias to give public-transport airlines regulatory attention.&nbsp; In this case, even though the airline has not flown, I have found a Maldives certification for the first airplane (see article).&nbsp; There is also international attention, including the German website mentioned above, and a http://www.planespotters.net/Airline/flyme-(Maldives) web page dedicated to the new airline (both now in the article).&nbsp; Given that this airline has not flown a passenger and doesn't have an IATA code, I would prefer that this article be boldly moved to the Wikipedia:Article Incubator|incubator until it has both, and sidestep AfDs like this one and possible claims of OTNEWS or WP:ONEEVENT.&nbsp; However given spectacles like United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics where we can check every day now on the latest medal totals for the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics, I'm not sure that Wikipedians as a group would want this particular article to be incubated.&nbsp; So I think we just have to accept that the article meets |notability criteria as it is, including the WP:CRYSTAL criteria for anticipated events.&nbsp
