Wheels Up[edit]

(

  • ... that Wheels Up is an aviation company with members who pay for on demand use of the corporate fleet of jets.
  • Comment: There is some issue on whether this corporate article resembles an WP:ADVERT. Let's discuss.

  • Comment: how does on-demand air service differ from an air charter? Mindmatrix 20:13, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
I would presume that an air charter involves paying open market rates for rental service while this is a membership model, in which one rents a plane at member rates. It is not clear what advance notification is needed for an air charter.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:04, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment regardless of anything, "on demand" in the hook is a dab link. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:13, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

I think a new hook is needed here since this company is not the only example of a subscription-based airline, for example Surf Air. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:48, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

  • I thought a hook just had to be interesting. I didn't know it had to be about a subject that is unique to the history of the world.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:30, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
@TonyTheTiger: True, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not really that important. If say if it had been the first of its kind, maybe the hook could have worked. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:26, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
What facts do you consider important in this article.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
To be honest, there doesn't seem to be much else hook-worthy in the article, other than perhaps the same day shuttles for college football games. I suppose if we really must go with the current proposal, it should still be rewritten. Like something like "... that Wheels Up is an example of a subscription-based airline?" or something to that effect. I also note that the article right now has a big "Advert" tag at the top. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:27, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

General eligibility:

  • New enough: Yes
  • Long enough: Yes
  • Other problems: No - The article has a big "advert" tag at the top, this need to be addressed; in "Wheels up has exclusive rights", this should be properly capitalized; "Wheels Up flight a door" needs a comma; has there been any updates on the 2015 investigation?
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: No - QPQ needed
Overall: Prefer ALT2 to ALT1 Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:43, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

  • Comment – A user added the {{Advert}} template to the article on 24 August 2018 (diff), which remains atop the article as of this post (link). North America1000 13:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Do others feel that the tag is appropriate. I am too close to the article to judge but I feel it was misplaced.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:34, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
  • This has been stuck for quite a while now. Most of the issues have been fixed, apart from the "advert" tag which remains unresolved. Personally I don't think it applies anymore, but it might be a better idea to let another reviewer decide if it's still appropriate or not. Requesting a new review.

  • ALT3: ... that subscription-based airline Wheels Up launched in 2013 after securing 105 King Air 350i turboprop aircraft in a transaction valued at $1.4 billion? Yoninah (talk) 22:12, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
  •  Doing... Will review shortly. MX (✉ • ✎) 01:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Article is new/long enough, neutral, has no active tags, prose is decent, no obvious copyright violations, QPQ done, sources are strong, and hooks are cited/interesting (hookiest is ALT2). Please review the updates I made to the article, and the image I recently added. MX (✉ • ✎) 02:00, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
