Formatting and organization[edit]

Some thoughts on the formatting and organization of this article:

Do we need to have separate sections for holding companies with single and multiple airline holdings? It seems to me like this distinction is pretty pointless as it is immediately obvious which companies have more than one airline holding.
Bold needs to go away, even if it were consistently used it's still not necessary.
While there is a certain visual appeal to the way this list is formatted, I think we'd be better off in the long run if we stuck to normal wiki bullets rather than having the horizontal rows separated by • for the list of airlines. Something like this:
- British Airways, plc.
  - Majority holdings
  - Minority holdings
Obviously, for companies with out the majority/minority distinction, we'd skip that level. But do we need it at all (I'd say yes), and do we need to separate majority holdings from wholly owned? Are they the same thing?
Dump the IATA codes. WP:AIRLINES has already decided against listing them in navboxes in a previous discussion.
Do we want to list percentages (presumably showing how much of the airline is held by the holding company)? This seems like a bit too much detail for a list, and ought to be present for each listing if we're going to have them.
I assume the inclusion of the now-deleted template at the top of the page is temporary until all the information is transferred into the article? It needs to go eventually as it's redundant.
I plan to put {{Airline holding companies of the United States}} up for deletion as well once all of that content is included in this article. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 21:15, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Holding companies of individual airlines[edit]

Do we really need these most are just parent companies and not what would be considered a holding company, I suspect that a fair majority of other thousands of airlines not listed also have a parent company. MilborneOne (talk) 15:56, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up reverted[edit]

After spending time cleaning up the article to remove uneeded graphics and information it is a retrograde step to add all the rubbish back in. We dont need graphics to tell us where continents are, we dont need logos for airlines, I had also reverted to more standard presentation. I had also removed information not related to holding companies, such as governments and removed single airline parent companies as a large percentage of airlines have parent companies all of which can be found on the individual airline pages. Perhaps IP contributers can help improve the list rather than just revert attempts to improve the article. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 14:39, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"A company in which the holding company owns more than 50% voting shares or a "majority of share ownership" is known as a subsidiary"

Shouldn't it be "A company of which...." It sounds like the subsidiary is the one that owns more than 50%.
