There is no explanation what is considered a "large" airline. this seem like an arbitrary list and an unnecessary list Domdeparis (talk) 18:15, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe so, but it's a lot more detailed and better referenced than the prexisting List of airlines of India, for just those largest airlines. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I'm still editing the article and I still need time. But I truly believe that this article does indeed has a great importance because, in India right now, there is a thriving airline indstry, and this website clearly helps users find information about the airlines and their progress. Also, the "large' is referring to how many passengers (in millions ) each of the airlines had carried.(talk) 09:46, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete being the largest in India is not particularly notable and is not done for any other countries, far to much detail for the List of airlines of India but some of the information may be worth adding to Transport in India. MilborneOne (talk) 19:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Unnecessary and non-notable list article. Redirect to List of largest airlines in Asia if necessary. Ajf773 (talk) 20:20, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the content with List of airlines of India. ChunnuBhai (talk) 05:39, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This content is quite vital and there is no reason for removal as it is most likely that many people would like to view this webpage inorder to understand the airline industry in India.

• Comment Hi if the aim is to help people understand the airline industry in India might it not be better to refer to the article Aviation in India. If the aim is to rank the airlines by number of passengers it would be better to add this information to the List of airlines of India and thereby avoiding the arbitrary notion of "largest" as this page is supposed to include all the airlines. The space on the page is sufficient to include almost all of the information that you have provided without using a scrolling table. Domdeparis (talk) 09:20, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment But this is statistics of how the airlines havr been doing, not their background information. (talk) 22:57, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment ALSO I HAVE THOUGHT OF ADDING MORE INFORMATION OF THE AIRLINES IN INDIA BASED ON

                         - DESTINATIONS
                         - KILOMETERS FLOWN
                         - FLEET SIZE
                         - AND POSSIBLY EVEN REVENUE

please do not delete this website as there is nothing innapropriate, irrevelevent, and all the sources where I had receved this data have been cited(sourced). (talk) 23:10, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NOTSTAT and WP:LISTCRUFT. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:53, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as a Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization (WP:DIR) and a simple listing with no context information. The list also fails WP:LISTN as the topic is not notable enough for a stand-alone list. -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions}) 00:47, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
