message: Strongly suggest some sources independant of the airline's website be used to verify and expand this article. here are a few I found on a quick Googlebash. -- saberwyn 22:13, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure which facts are in dispute here. There is such an airline (fact), it intends to operate out of Gibraltar to the mentioned destinations (fact), it was supposed to have started in spring of 07 (fact) but has been delayed till 08 or more (fact). Even though it is vapourware so far, all the facts in the article are verifiable, I feel the wikipedia article is appropriate. So can we get rid of the factual-accuracy tag? - Binand 21:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I dispute that there is an airline. Anyone can produce pictures of an airliner on photoshop, issue speculative press releases and register a website, that does not make it real or notable enough for a wikipedia entry. The same guys were supposed to be building an airport in Jimena De La Frontera, both projects are vapourware which may impress their investors but do not deserve an entry in Wikipedia.  --Gibnews 11:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be the case, but facts say that there are press releases and such (even the government of Gibraltar issues press releases - see http://www.gibraltar.gov.gi/latest_news/press_releases/2006/234-2006.pdf); verifying the veracity of the claims made in these releases or background-checking the originators of such releases probably fall under original research. So I really don't think the FlyGib article lacks factual accuracy. Now notability - that's totally different and I fully agree that a vapourware airline is hardly notable enough for a wikipedia article :) - Binand 05:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but the GoG article simply welcomes the airline it does not confirm it is real; see also http://www.thenewpeople.net/print/110507.pdf --Gibnews 09:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
