Not sure if this topic is notable. Seems like a WP:SYNTHESIS of different information about women who were stationed out of Long Beach Airport. Natg 19 (talk) 19:21, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. Being associated with a particular airport isn't something women (or men or children) are commonly noted for. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

- Delete I cleaned this up a bit, but I agree with the nom. Good faith, but off the mark Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:37, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. The numerous RS already included indicate that such a good historical article is in the offing. I've included several military/aviation categories and tags; hopefully this will bring in more interested editors to clean up the article. (A move to a different title might be a good idea.)

- Comment -- Certainly a synthesis concerning a number of women who are unrelated apart from flying from a particular airport. If the women are notable they should have a free-standing article with a list in the airport article (or one on its history), but if (as I suspect) they are NN, I do not think we can keep it.

- Keep Actually, some of these women are indeed notable. The article's author didn't link to their pages, and in one case had the name wrong. One of the issues for women in wikipedia is how they're listed -- first name/maiden surname, first name/married surname, first name/maiden surname/married surname. It can make it hard to find them and link to them. I fixed as many as I could figure out. valereee (talk) 19:47, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

:*Comment. Some of the women are notable, and have their own articles. Their connection to the airport, not so much. And what are the WASPs and Rosie the Riveter doing in there? Did any of the Powder Puff Derbies even start from there? The inaugural Women's Air Derby article says Santa Monica, not Long Beach Airport. Any strong connections could be merged into Long Beach Airport#History. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:01, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete a bit of a made-up article, although the women are notable the connection with Long Beach is a tenuos, I cant see any evidence that the connected to the airport is notable. You could probably do the same for most airports by just making up a list of notable women who have a passing link to it. MilborneOne (talk) 17:53, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Mere WP:SYNTHESIS. Everything here fits more naturally into articles that already exist.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:43, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
