Bogra Airport

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Airport was never used in history and there are no plans for it to be put to use any time in the future. Moreover, airport lacks recognition from IATA. Thus, it is not significant enough to deserve an article.

Furthermore, the article is very small with barely any information at all and that too from a single dubious source. Rihaz ^{(Talk to me • Stuff I did • Global)} 17:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Here is a newspaper photo of the airport being used by the Bangladesh Air Force. There is no scheduled passenger service, but while the existence of scheduled service confers notability, the absence of it is not a reason for deletion. Like white elephant public infrastructure projects everywhere, news coverage suggests Bangladesh's STOL airfields may be notable precisely because the government paid to build them, and pays to staff them, but they don't serve the average citizen as intended. I've added some content and sources. I believe it meets WP:GNG and WP:NAIRPORT. If more is desired, one could do a Bangla-language search. Construction of the STOL airfields began around 1992, so a search of offline sources also might be profitable. Worldbruce (talk) 08:34, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Military use seems highly limited, it can't be classified as a proper air base. Moreover, I would like to repeat the airport doesn't even have an IATA code which is considered very important according to WP:NAIRPORT.
