• Weak delete - I guess I've become a bit less of a deletionist than I was back then. It's true that it doesn't seem to be covered in depth in any sources that I can find with a cursory Google Books search, so nominally it seems to fail the GNG, but is mentioned in a good few books and reports, so it was a real airline, running flights on more than one route, and there is no doubt about that. I would recommend merging if I could find a suitable merge target. --Slashme (talk) 14:10, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I am seeing a lot of searches about this transport. Even became a courier service. This only needs citations. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 16:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you please help me identify a source which will make it pass the
    General notability guideline, namely a reliable source, independent of the subject, where it received significant coverage? --Slashme (talk) 06:18, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

    • I'm a bit occupied and all I can do for the meantime is to skim AfD for the Philippines. Using Google, I do find a lot of information and pictures so it does exist [1] and I am from the Philippines and also do know this company exists so using
      WP:COMMON it is imperative that this article be kept yet maintenance tags must be placed to invite interested editors to improve it by adding citations. Obviously not deletion. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 07:35, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

      • It seems as if there is a courier company called Mindanao Express, and a Google Images search finds lots of photos of a bus in "Mindanao Express" livery, operated by
        WP:COMPANY. This guideline is completely applicable, and it basically echoes the GNG: there must be in-depth coverage of the company in reliable, independent secondary sources. Surely an airline of note should leave some footprints more than a brief mention in a few news reports. At the moment, the article doesn't have a single reference. --Slashme (talk) 21:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

        • Upon my short research. It seems Mindanao Express is a company which was once plying the route to southern regions of the Philippines. Manila Standard newspaper captured it 1997. It was a company. but since the larger
          WP:COMMON as it did exist and notable for once plying those routes. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 13:16, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply
