Fails GNG and NCORP. No sources available with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth from I RS. No objection to a redirect to parent company if consensus exists.  // Timothy :: talk  08:17, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Make it a draft. CARLITOAHUISA (talk) 11:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The company operated a single aircraft and doesn't exist anymore, you really think SIGCOV from I RS will appear?  // Timothy :: talk  11:07, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete "Tongyong Airlines" is probably just China General Aviation running a charter flight, as the full Chinese name for China General Aviation is actually Zhongguo tongyong hangkong gongsi (中国通用航空公司), which translates to something like China General (tongyong) Aviation Company. So, "Tongyong Airlines" is most likely a duplicate in the database. Just like China General, the Tongyong Airlines listed in aviation-safety.net ended operations in 1997 and merged into China Eastern Airlines. They both operated Yakovlev Yak-42 aircraft. Also of note is that China Eastern also had a route between Nanjing and Xiamen, as evidenced by the article on China General Aviation Flight 7552, but this might be totally unrelated as Tongyong Airlines was recorded as being a charter airline. Also, I was unable to find any sources for the hijacking mentioned in the article in Chinese or English. Mucube (talk • contribs) 01:22, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to China General Aviation (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. I agree with Mucube's analysis that Tongyong Airlines is likely a duplicate in the database since the full Chinese name for China General Aviation includes "tongyong" (通用).

• Redirect to China General Aviation based on the sustainable analyses of name and service by Mucube and Cunard above. AllyD (talk) 10:43, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
