Ceased operation[edit]

As stated this is NOT the airline that this article is about. I have added a section on the 2017 airline in the article - it may be better in its own article if it is notable enough but this article is about the 1970's airline. Andrewgprout (talk) 07:59, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is. Norfolk Island Airlines was founded in 1973 (ICAO: NIA IATA: UG), then merged with Lloyd Aviation Jet Charter into Norfolk Airlines and restarted as Norfolk Island Airlines in 2017. See e.g. [2] --Chtrede (talk) 08:04, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

None of that is in the ch-aviation reference - the references I have says clearly "Norfolk Airlines shuts down just a year after launch". Andrewgprout (talk) 08:13, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is the CH-Aviation link: [3] - if this article only refers to the 1973 airline, then it is still wrong as that one merged ages ago to Norfolk Airlines and become then defunct. (and was started under its old name again in 2017) --Chtrede (talk) 08:15, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are seeing more on that page than I can get to. Paywall? What is needed is a sensible reference that there is a continuous and real link between the two incarnations of the airline.

The link clearly shows for Norfolk Island Airlines 1973: "Info Rebranded as Norfolk Airlines". So that old NIA is defunct for many many years. It was founded under its old name in 2017 again. The name is the link. --Chtrede (talk) 08:29, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Not even the (old) IATA/ICAO codes are mentioned in the article. --Chtrede (talk) 08:30, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NO the name is not good enough - names can be reused by totally seperate entities and accepting the name as a link without a reference would be original research and quite misleading. Andrewgprout (talk) 08:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If this is en-WP policy, ok. --Chtrede (talk) 08:49, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
