Comment: Template:Tq is only for quoting in talk and project pages. Do not use it in actual articles. means unless there is coverage meeting WP:CORPDEPTH since the last discussion then this is not notable. The draft was using the same coverage that was evaluated in the deletion discussion. As far as making a "billion dollar deal", nothing in WP:NCORP allows for inherent notability, including valuation or deals that it makes. Also, you added a source from the company website which is not independent and should be removed or replaced with a reliable secondary source. Finally, you were asked for the WP:THREE but submitted without answering. CNMall41 (talk) 03:32, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: I didn't understand what you meant by saying "Unless something has drastically changed since that time this is not notable". Well, the airline just made a billion dollar deal to purchase 40 ATR-72-600. Also, I added the Incidents heading and, improved the destinations list. I also added an image for it.

- Comment: Feel free to ping me if you can point out the WP:THREE but anything new since the last AfD appears not to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. CNMall41 (talk) 00:23, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Nothing the name variations showing the previous deletions. Last AfD was a month ago. Unless something has drastically changed since that time this is not notable. CNMall41 (talk) 00:21, 4 September 2026 (UTC)
