Template:Airport codes

No consensus has developed to use this template. It seems unnecessary as the use of multiple airport codes has been deprecated. Powers ^(talk) 01:12, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

comment isn't the issue of IATA codes also on the requested articles page? Imho we should have an article explaining IATA codes (as they are the ones most travelers will get to see the most) and maybe even a list of common ones that link to airport (or rail station, or...) and/or city articles.

Note that Template:IATA exists separately and is wide use, while this one, which attempted to give all sorts of additional codes we decided not to care about, was never adopted. Texugo (talk) 12:31, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

The item on WV:RA is primarily a request for an article to serve as target for the link in {{IATA}}, which currently points to a Wikipedia article. K7L (talk) 18:55, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - As mentioned above, Template:IATA is the one in use, and this one is extraneous clutter. Texugo (talk) 12:31, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
• Delete. Ah OK. It appears I was under a misapprehension. Than I would favor deletion and creating of a page on IATA codes Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
• Delete. Regarding an article on IATA codes, in practice the traveller usually doesn't need to know anything more than which IATA codes belong to which airport. That alone is not enough to carry an article, and any further information would be better suited for Wikipedia than our site. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 18:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

delete, but a related issue is that somewhere (Flying or one of its children) we need to talk about IATA codes like LON which includes all of London's airports. I do not find that with a quick look. Pashley (talk) 22:46, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Result: Deleted. --Saqib (talk) 18:16, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
