Article is an unsourced stub, and has had tags to that effect since its creation; creator has not even edited the page since the first day. No notability claimed or established, and is a minor topic better covered in another, broader article, such as something on aircraft maintenance. BillCJ 23:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into Aircraft maintenance and Delete. Better one stub with more info than two with little. Askari Mark (Talk) 00:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• The only useful info in this article has now been merged into Aircraft maintenance, so delete (or redirect). Melsaran (talk) 13:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep that a topic is of no interest to a random selection of Wikipedians does not mean that this topic is of no significance or is not notable. I'm showing my age but I remember this procedure when flying from the UK to Hong Kong and the explanation was that it was to prevent the expansion of the Malarial zone (the area where malaria is endemic) and other diseases by insects hitching a ride from tropical climes. With the warming of Europe an article on this topic may become more important and notable, as the fear is that mosquitoes which previously fell victim to the cold may establish breeding colonies, spreading the footprint of tropical diseases. The problem is that this topic has been treated as an aircraft topic and so its audience has been limited to those interested in aircraft, engineering and hardware and so has found no takers to expand or add to it. The article properly belongs to Epidemiology and disease control, if links can be created to appropriate Biology articles than the number of passerbys with an interest and knowledge of the topic would be greatly expanded and this topic stands a chance of being properly dealt with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KTo288 (talk • contribs) 18:38, August 23, 2007 (UTC).
