Withdraw as nom for reasons stated below This is an article on an airline that operated three (3), eight seater aircraft for a six year period in the 1980s. It's sourced entirely to non-RS that consist of things like scans of flight schedules. A WP:BEFORE finds copious references to the better-known Spanish airline of the same name but not this one. Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Chetsford (talk) 20:44, 1 June 2025 (UTC); edited 18:07, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: I can only find various airline centennial events, nothing for this particular operator of aircraft.Sources in the article are non-RS. Oaktree b (talk) 22:38, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
• Keep: multiple citations are available in [https://www.newspapers.com/search/results/?keyword=Centennial+Airlines+ newspapers.com]. I don't have full access to post links, but if you do a search there, you will see a few articles from 1981 to 1987. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hkkingg (talk • contribs) 07:13, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• Keep and Withdraw as Nom as per Hkkingg. My initial BEFORE on newspapers.com turned up a bunch of hits to the Spanish airline's crash. When I narrowed the search to just Wyoming there's enough here that this (surprisingly) passes NCORP. Chetsford (talk) 16:42, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• :If the sources are so geographically limited would it meet WP:AUD? Alpha3031 (t • c) 06:15, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

::*It had a few short pieces distributed by wire services that got pick-up outside Wyoming (e.g. here [https://www.newspapers.com/image/1192184754] in the Santa Barbara News-Press)

• Delete Generally, a company needs more sources to demonstrate notability. If someone is able to find more sources to show that the company is notable, please let me know. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 17:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

• Draftify to find sources or redirect to this page: The article currently only has sources for old timetables and one page listing. If more articles exist as is discussed above perhaps it qualifies for its own article, but presently I don't see it. I opt to improve articles where possible rather than delete, so that reflects in my vote! 11WB (talk) 21:44, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:NEXIST, appears to have been the only Wyoming-based airline in the 1980s, copious press reporting, some examples: [https://www.newspapers.com/article/casper-star-tribune-centennial-airlines/174684319/ Centennial Airlines spreading its wings], [https://www.newspapers.com/article/rapid-city-journal-airline-purchase-prop/174684351/ Airline purchase proposed], [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-billings-gazette-airline-acquires-ne/174684370/ Airline acquires new aircraft]. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 11:03, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
• Keep per Goldsztajn's sources. WP:AUD is met: The first is in the Casper Star-Tribune, which is (according to our article) "Wyoming's largest print newspaper" – this is perfect for AUD, which says {{xt|Significant coverage in media with an international, national, or at least regional audience (e.g., the biggest daily newspaper in any US state) is a strong indication of notability.}}. The other two are an Associated Press wire story printed in a South Dakota newspaper and a piece reported in Montana (by a newspaper with a bureau in Cody, Wyoming).
