~~Keep~~. The nomination is on the basis of a lack of references in the article, which is not a reason for deletion. Per WP:OUTCOMES, airlines that operate/operated on scheduled routes are considered notable. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:57, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Suspect a Bad Faith nomination based on an assumption that is not correct. The airline clearly exists. 124.180.170.151 (talk) 11:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This IP editor is perpetuating the scam, methinks - see my investigations below. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep. Fails WP:RS. There should be at least a reference. Rinfoli {*Di§cu$$ with me"#} 20:57, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Delete. Something weird going on here, this has already been called out on the article's talk page. The main Internet links for SkyFly Airlines (Facebook etc.) all take you to http://www.skyflyairlines.com/en/index.php which appears to offer a virtual pilot training environment. Either somebody pinched somebody else's company name and has no web site of their own (highly unlikely if they operate as many aircraft as claimed) or this article is a hoax. I go for hoax. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 07:26, 23 April 2014 (UTC) [Updated 07:34, 23 April 2014 (UTC)][reply]

Update: I have found this archived home page for the purported airline but it is two years old - and archived. Still favour the hoax theory, now specifically of the scam variety, hope nobody invested too heavily. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:38, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And there's more. The account which created the article made no other significant edit save to list it on another page - contribs here. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per Steelpillow's discovery of this as a hoax, good work. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:15, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Speedy delete? In light of the above, is this now a case for WP:SPEEDY? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:52, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
