:({{Find sources AFD|Samar Airlines}})

No sources, no real substance I'm not sure if the airline is even notable. When I searched for info it all seemed to be sourced from here which is somewhat comical, seeing how the information here is unsourced. Doradafan (talk) 19:06, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

• Comment. [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=p4PSy4iOP8IC&pg=PT228&dq=%22Samar+Airlines%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X#v=onepage&q=%22Samar%20Airlines%22%20-wikipedia&f=false This source] suggests that this airline might warrant a mention at Viktor Bout, with a redirect of this title, but I can't find enough for independent notability.

• Delete Article completely lacks sources, which is odd, given the airline has been around since 2004.TH1980 (talk) 21:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

:*Comment. It really annoys me when people ignore what has gone on before in discussions. I showed by linking to a source what sort of "airline" this was, so can't we discuss this on that basis, rather than make comments that show that we haven't taken any notice of the previous discussion?

• Keep. Added sources and it did exist with a colourful history. It does appear on some aviation searches of the country as one of their local airlines but was never a leading carrier. Given it's history, I think it is interesting enough to keep, however could also make the case for a Redirect to Viktor Bout article (I have added a line in his article to Samar).

• Redirect to Viktor Bout. The entity is not sufficiently notable to merit its own page. Covering it in broader context at the Viktor Bout article is a better service to our readers in any event. Bakazaka (talk) 02:02, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
