The result was redirect to Mosjøen Airport, Kjærstad and mention there, it's a plausible search term apparently. W.marsh 19:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Airport Helgeland[edit]

I could not find any sources (in English) that support the article's claim. When I first came across this article, it wasn't sourced at all. I added as many relevant sources as I could find, but the main point of the article remains unsourced. Does this qualify as a prediction?? SERSeanCrane 20:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless more reliably sourced. There still isn't a lot of information in the sources, and their independence is suspect. A linguist would be useful to check foreign-language sources. Trebor 22:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The thing is still very speculative, especially in light of this article and this report (sorry, both in Norwegian) where Avinor says they would prefer to keep the small airports as is. The most accurate the article could do is say something like "there have been proposals for a common airport for Helgeland" but this much uncertainty and still only at a "proposal" stage, it is not sufficiently notable.

Comment I have found two references, one from Avinor [1] and one from the Ministry of Transport [2] (sorry, both in Norwegian) that claim that there have been plans to look at a new airport in Helgeland. Both of these are dated in 2002 and the reports referenced by Sjakkalle show that these plans now have been abandoned. There are also some factualy inacuracies in the article, among others claiming that the airport would also serve Brønnøysund, which is not the case. Whether or not this process is notable enough to have a seperate article, I don't know. But it definitively needs to be rewritten to be encyclopedic, concluding with that at the moment it is seems to be abandoned. A paragraph (that I would be happy to write) in the Mosjøen Airport, Kjærstad article would be appropriate, though (I think it is a stub at the moment). Arsenikk 15:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So this project has been abandoned; the airport won't be built? In that case, I would say definitely delete and add a couple of sentences on the idea in the appropriate article (but bearing in mind that I am not able to evaluate the sources myself). Trebor 17:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
