The article is an example to all airline articles. It provides up-to-date, factual data that flows smoothly into the article. The terminal descriptions and airport history sections are in-depth, and the airline destinations are constantly updated providing a greater experience to the article. Currently, it is rated GA-Class, but the content definately boasts A-Class material. On behalf of User:Golich17. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 22:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support, very easy to understand, and well sourced. -Marcusmax (talk) 23:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Opposed.
- Lead has 5 paragraphs. WP:LEAD guideline recommends 3 to 4 for very long articles, and this isn't a long article as far as prose goes with only 40kb for the article source. Considering the extent of lists and references, this article is in the middle range or on the longer end of the middle range of articles.
- paragraphs 4 and 5 of the introduction contain speculative information, Northwest Airlines is not the sole launch customer of the 787, simply the North American launch customer. Despite Northwest being based at Detroit Metro, this is simply a claim that has failed to be established as a fact. Since other international customers are ahead of Northwest, it is possible for them to use 787-8 and -9 aircraft (first models to be produced) for regular international travel to a major U.S. airport before Northwest begins domestic flights or its own international flights. Review of available sources also indicate that the timing information is out of date. Delta/Northwest merger suggests a claim that is also not established as fact. Mergers of airlines do not usually mean an increase of traffic at one airport. It often means streamlined operations, and a reduction of duplication in routes. The reference does not even suggest this claim as a possible fact.
- History ends with a planned future development; two paragraphs in the history begin with "during"; vague time references;
- citations for references are incomplete. Since they are mostly external links, they should include the date accessed, at the least.
