Al Azaiba Airport - Wikipedia

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

A WP:BEFORE doesn't turn up any available information on this airport that would lend notability. It's unclear it even ever really existed in any form beyond an unimproved airstrip. Coverage is entirely limited to images or database entries for crashed aircraft (total of 4 come up), it appears as though this airfield was a temporary landing strip to service oil company and military operations. (proposed by Nfutvol)

Another editor has reviewed this page's proposed deletion, endorses the proposal to delete, and adds:

Mid-twentieth-century unimproved airstrips where DC-4s crash-landed are a dime a dozen. Nothing here to support a claim of notability. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 16:46, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
