This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Mauritius. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Mauritius|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Mauritius. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Africa.

Fails WP:LISTN, WP:NCORP, WP:NOT, and common sense.
WP:LISTN and WP:NCORP are failed because none of the sources provided in this article are secondary, reliable, independent (WP:SIRS) sources giving significant coverage to the topic of the services offered by Air Mauritius. Instead they are:
- PDF copies of time tables published on the airline website.
- PDFs of old copies of the Flight International directory, which is industry press (see WP:TRADES) whose information came directly from the airline, and who only provided a bare listing of destinations.
- The CAPA website, an industry organisation which Air Mauritius is a customer/business-partner of. Not independent.
- The website of the Corporate Travel Community, which is part of CAPA and is
" a network of corporate travel buyers and other personnel who manage their organisation’s travel portfolios" .
- A FlightGlobal.com article about a press-conference. WP:TRADES, not independent.
- The annual report of Air Mauritius, enough said.
- A single-paragraph story in Air Journal based entirely on a company announcement, WP:TRADES, not WP:SIGCOV.
- A brief Xinhuanet report about the opening of a single route, based entirely on statements from the CEO of Air Mauritius. Not WP:SIGCOV, not independent.
- A Reuters story about airlines cancelling flights during COVID. Not SIGCOV of the topic of the routes of this airline.
- Routesonline, a corporate blog which is not reliable and independent per our discussion at RSN.
- A Twitter post by JetArena, enough said.
- WP:AEROROUTES
- A press-release published in Le Mauricien (they literally just screen-capped the letter from the airline).
I could go on but it would be tiresome for all involved. None of the above sourcing is a WP:SIRS pass.
WP:NOT is failed as this is an exhaustive listing of all of the services offered by a corporations, and as such a WP:NOTCATALOGUE/WP:NOTGUIDE fail.
Common sense is failed because this is predominantly a listing of places this airline does not fly to (of 44 destinations, 31 are listed as "terminated"). Why on earth should we maintain such a list?
Whilst there is text content in this article, this is all already included at the parent article. There is therefore nothing to merge. FOARP (talk) 10:31, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Travel and tourism, Aviation, Transportation, Lists, and Mauritius. FOARP (talk) 10:31, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose Terminated destinations are as valid as current ones, or even more so considering the history of any airline. Should the article be deleted I will merge the list into the parent article. I am sick of nonsense deletion nominations--Jetstreamer Talk 21:10, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- If terminated destinations are important, then why is the coverage of them only in blogs, industry press, press-releases, company statements, and the company website? We don't do exhaustive history research here: we provide a summary of what secondary (not primary) sources have to say about a topic. FOARP (talk) 22:26, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
