Oceanic Airlines

Delete. As Oceanic Flight 815 is covered, really, this is fancruft. Delete ~~or transwiki to Lostpedia~~. (Lostpedia is not a MediaWiki wiki and thus transwiki-ing is not available. ‐ M.) — Mike 20:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Oceanic Flight 815 only covers "Oceanic Airlines" as it relates to Lost, not as a general inside joke. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 21:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Except I'm not seeing any evidence that this is an "inside joke". --Calton | Talk 01:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's listed under fictional companies, many of which only appear in one show. This one appears across several, and as Crustacean said, people may not know it's a inside joke across several TV shows and other movies. Also, we can't just "transfer it to another wiki," Lostpedia is its own site, and not a direct part of the original wiki. - A.J. 21:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per User:AJHalliwell. -Whomp 21:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. -- Wikipedical 23:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: as per above --mo-- (^Talk | _#info | ) 23:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All of these Lost related AFDs are ridiculous. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 23:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable fictional company! Nertz 00:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Really? So this notable fictional company is the same in each -- or even most -- of its references? --Calton | Talk 01:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - In the same way that "555" is a notable dialling code, and "Alan Smithee" is a notable fictional film director. It's a handy film/TV convention, to avoid upsetting actual airlines. -- GWO
Delete. It's a convenient fictional name of no significance other than using it -- since it's fake -- won't get TV/movie producers sued. I'm seeing no evidence whatsoever that the uses have anything in common. --Calton | Talk 01:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clean up, finding additional sources. The article should probably be untied from Lost, as it's not solely used in connection to that series. (Oceanic Flight 815 serves that purpose).--Leflyman^Talk 06:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A relevant set of information about Lost, as well as being shown in quite a few other shows/films. Wolfsbane Kane 12:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Oceanic is used in multiple fictional works, ans is not Lost fancruft - SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 13:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. ArgentiumOutlaw 23:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clean up and expand. SergeantBolt 16:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per GWO's comment and Calton; indiscriminate cruftitude per WP:NOT, collecting the said unrelated cruft together is WP:OR. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I agree with Jtrost that this is getting ridiculous. Sfufan2005 19:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Stay civil, please. — Mike • 19:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
