GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

This article is being reviewed as part of the WikiProject Good Articles. We're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. This article was awarded GA-status back in 2007 and the GA requirements have been "tightened up", so I will be assessing the article to ensure that it is still compliant.

Initial comments

History -

Ref 5 is a broken web link (citation for the Ganden Group).
The claim about ownership by the Ganden Group is also out of date. This link ([1]) indicates that it was sold in 2009 to another company, but with some common directorships.

The statement "Israir Airlines was established in 1989 as Kanfei HaEmek (Valley Wings), before changing its name to Israir Airlines in 1996" is unreferenced.
Ref 9 is a broken web link.
Ref 10 confirms that passenger filing a lawsuit, but it does not provide any evidence to support the, possibly POV, comment "Israir sparked controversy once again".
Ref 11 confirms that Israir was applying for designated carrier status on various routes, but not the statement: "In early 2008, when restrictions were lifted on Israeli airlines destinations," Furthermore, there is no mention in the article of any restrictions on Israeli airlines destinations.

Destinations -

This is any empty section, it merely has a {{Main}} link to an unreferenced list: Israir Airlines destinations.

At this point I'm put the assessment On Hold for rectification. Pyrotec (talk) 19:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is being delisted, as it is no longer compliant with WP:WIAGA. The article can be resubmited to WP:GAN once it has been brought up to standard. Pyrotec (talk) 17:41, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
