: I think they probably should not be included. It seems like a level of detail that isn't necessary—no one who needs to know that level of detail will be using Wikipedia to find it out, they will be going to more detailed resources (Jeppesen, AOPA). It reminds me of the arguments I just made to delete [[List of Apple retail stores in the US]]. (The VFD is at [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of Apple retail stores in the US]].) We don't want to become the Yellow Pages.
: For that matter, I'm not particularly crazy about the airport articles listing all of the airlines that serve the airport, but it looks like that's a little ingrained already for me to start complaining now. Again, too Yellow-Pages like, especially the articles that list gate numbers and whatnot. No one who needs that information is going to an encyclopedia to get it. IMHO. —[[User:
::I think someone is removing the gate numbers from the articles. So that concern may be on its way to being resolved. [[User:Vegaswikian|Vegaswikian]] 02:47, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
:::I've been doing some of that. Don't know if I am who you're referring to. [[User:Rdore|Rdore]] 05:17, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Line 121:
:::For me, one reason I feel FBOs should be included is that they reflect a side not often seen by the general public and I think a lot of people are actually interested in reading about what goes on behind the scenes at an airport (I'm certainly more interested in the stuff I don't know about than the stuff I can go down to the airport and find out about myself). I also think its cool to establish a company link, but if we remove the list of services then I'm lost on what info we could usefully include. Finally, Some FBOs operate their own "mini-terminals" at large airports. For example, at vancouver international Chevron, Shell, and Esso each operate a "terminal" that handles passengers, boarding, and baggage and is totally separate from the main and south terminals. So how do you get around this? -[[User:Lommer|Lommer]] | [[User talk:Lommer|<sup>talk</sup>]] 01:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
::::I think that simply a mention that general aviation FBOs are at the airport would be enough to inform the general public—anyone who needs more detail than that are going to go to non-encyclopedia sources to get it. Unless there's something particularly notable about an FBO on its own, I don't think just the fact that it exists is noteworthy... —[[User:
I would really appreciate anyone with ideas making some edits at [[Vancouver International Airport]] by the way. It's nice to get a third party in the action when two editors are in opposition. -[[User:Lommer|Lommer]] | [[User talk:Lommer|<sup>talk</sup>]] 01:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
