![]() | This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. |
![]() | This page in a nutshell: Airports and aerodromes are not inherently notable. Basic notability with reliable sources is required. Inclusion in a comprehensive list such as ICAO, IATA or a government airport registration is required for verifiability but not necessarily good enough for notability. This advice page discusses notability for various kinds of airports. |
This page provides advice intended to be used by Wikipedia editors to decide whether an airport (or aerodrome) is notable for the purposes of having a separate article on Wikipedia. While satisfying these notability guidelines generally indicates an airport warrants an article, failing to satisfy them is not a criterion for speedy deletion.
These guidelines may be considered a specialized version of Wikipedia:Notability, applied to airports, reflecting the following core Wikipedia policies:
Claims of notability must adhere to Wikipedia's policy on attribution; it is not enough to simply assert that an airport meets a criterion without substantiating that claim with reliable sources.
