This timeline violates policy

Since I've yet to find time to properly edit this increasingly vast company history, I'm posting a note, because it appears to me as a compilation of WP:ADVERTISING, product WP:CATALOG and PR WP:BROCHURE, all decorated with commercial WP:TRIVIA. An encyclopedia is not enriched by:

"2014 July 28... Airbnb announces a partnership with Concur, an expense reporting service for businesses, to make it easier for business travelers to report Airbnb stays as business expenses.[55]"

"2014 November 20... Airbnb expands its liability insurance program for hosts and landlords. Whereas the initial liability insurance program was limited to property damage due to the guest, the new program $1 million worth of protection in the case a guest is accidentally injured anywhere in a host's building or on their property during their stay. Rentals starting January 15, 2015 will automatically be covered under the new program.[62]"

"2015 April 29... Airbnb launches an official iPad app.[65]"

"2016 October... Two Airbnb rivals, Wimdu and 9flats, consolidate in a merger.[84]"

"2017 November 28... Airbnb began allowing users to split payments with up to 16 other travelers.[95][96][97][98]"

"2018 February... Brian Chesky revealed the company's intention to launch an airline.[103]"

...etc. etc. etc. AHampton (talk) 22:50, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP: BLAR

I'm blanking this page and redirecting it to Airbnb. I don't think that a standalone article for the history of Airbnb is necessary. The amount of detail on the main Airbnb article is just right, while this article used to consist of a large, difficult to navigate table filled with corporate press releases and trivia (like opinions about whether the Airbnb logo looks like genitalia; I seriously have no idea why this content is considered encylopedic). While I cannot stop you from reverting this if you feel particularly strongly about this change, I ask that you be amenable to a discussion on this page about how to proceed if you decide that a revert is in order.
