Speedy deletion nomination of Long Bay Aviation

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Long Bay Aviation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Inks.LWC (talk) 03:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Existence

The barber's shop that maintains my hair exists. So does my left big toe. Neither have any notability of themselves. (They are both useful, but that's not notability...) Look at WP:CORP, and WP:RS about references. Peridon (talk) 11:40, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Air Carrier Certificates

The fact that the FAA and DOT award an entity with an Air Carrier Certificate is noteworthy. Air Carrier Certificates are issued only if the FAA deems that doing so is in the best interests of the public and for the common good of the public. An air carrier in the United States holds a unique authority granted by the Federal Government on a limited basis. Treppel (talk) 12:12, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, that just means they're considered safe. Remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a directory. Read WP:CORP. Remember also that Wikipedia definitions may not be the same as those in your dictionary. (Don't blame me -= I didn't write them...) Being on a limited basis, or even being unique, are not criteria for notability. There is a limited supply of Peridon's toes, and my left big toe is the only example of this particular type of toe. Unique, but not of itself notable. (It also can't inherit notability from me as a whole...) If there were articles in the Guardian and The Times discussing Peridon's toes, I'd be rather worried about British journalism, and the toes might then merit an article (which I would not write...). Over here, hackney drivers' licences are issued to those who pass certain tests and criteria. The result is a licensed taxi driver driving a tested and inspected and regulated vehicle. Except perhaps Fred Housego, not notable. Air carrier is similar (but higher up...). A company can have a certificate and work for years without an accident. Not notable. Sorry. If you were the only air service to have inadvertently hosted the only aerial axe massacre, you'd have a mention in the article about the massacre. Otherwise, there has to be something to separate you from all the other air taxis - not such a common entity here, but probably loads of them in the USA. And there must be coverage - see WP:RS.
