Article about a university professor, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NPROF. As always, academics are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be properly sourced as passing certain specific defined criteria for inclusion -- but this is "referenced" entirely to directly-affiliated primary sources (his faculty profile on the self-published website of the institution where he teaches and the self-published website of an academic program he founded), with not a single third-party source shown at all, and has been tagged for that problem since 2015 without ever having any new reliable sources added.

Not to try go against the system, rather do you know how to make it "not be AI" if the content is coming from genuine sources?

AI will reference genuine sources Gordongeraghty (talk) 12:56, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
AI hallucinates sources, because of the way it works. AI only turns your input into numbers (vectors) representing ideas and then uses maths to calculate or guess what the most likely response numbers would be. As such it may often cite things that are only likely to exist, such as assuming a wikipedia page exists at a place.

It turns out (after testing with a couple of articles) that my AI detector is not particularly good (it was detecting anything with markdown as AI) but the text does still show AI-like patterns. SuperCode111 (talk to me!) 13:01, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft This concept exits [], but better sources are needed. AI is always a concern, but I'd let this be drafted so it can be improved. I pulled up a dozen sources in Gscholar and Books, this would be easy enough to fix. Oaktree b (talk) 13:56, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Comment: this survived the first nomination in 2014 largely based on three sources that (if they were ever added at all) are not currently in the article, and the assertion that there were more than that (but while notability can be determined by sources not currently in the article, nowadays we need to know exactly what those sources are).

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz ^Humbug! 04:32, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Keep: This is the third time this article has been nominated, but the situation has completely changed since the earlier discussions. Fly91 is no longer a proposed startup or a paper airline, it is a fully operational scheduled commercial airline with regular flights and an active fleet.

The airline easily clears the bar for WP:GNG and WP:COMPANY. It has received extensive, in-depth coverage in major Indian national media (like The Hindu, Economic Times, and Mint) covering its funding, route expansions, and business strategy. This isn't just routine PR or directory listings, it is significant secondary coverage.

If the current references in the article need cleaning up, that's an editing issue to fix (WP:PRESERVE), not a reason to delete a clearly notable topic. The sources exist to build a solid encyclopedia article, so deletion makes no sense here. Wikipicked (talk) 07:13, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Cavarrone 05:06, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Keep: The previous deletion discussions were centered around the airline being basically a paper airline, a project that might start flying in the future. As of today the situation has changed significantly, as the airline has begun operations and is now a fully-fledged airline ferrying passengers around. Some references seem to be outdated and from the 2024 era of "We will have this airline in the future", but the situation is not nowhere near severe enough to completely remove a solid-ish article. Seqv 13:13, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Delete. (Upgrading my previous comment). The recent "Keep" votes seem to rely on the argument that because this is no longer a "paper airline" and has actually started flying, it is automatically notable. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of WP:NCORP and WP:EXISTENCE. Simply operating a business does not grant notability. We require significant, independent, secondary coverage—and what we have right now is pure WP:CHURNALISM and routine PR announcements. To break down the sources provided by the Keep voters: ** The Hindu is routine coverage of a route launch. This falls explicitly under WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTNEWS. ** Economic Times and Mint here is identical syndicated by PTI wire which directly shares company's own press releases. This completely fails the independence requirement of WP:ORGIND. None of these sources demonstrate the in depth, independent journalistic analysis required to establish corporate depth WP:CORPDEPTH. Unless someone can provide highquality investigative journalism or deep financial analysis of this specific entity that isn't just regurgitating their PR packet, this fails NCORP, the only notability guideline to refer.
