Fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG. Article on an airline that existed for three years and operated a fleet of two 15 passenger aircraft. One non-RS ref in article. A WP:BEFORE on Google News, JSTOR and newspapers.com fails to find any other RS. Chetsford (talk) 05:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC); edited 05:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. When searching newspapers.com for a company with a name that is made up of common words, make sure you enclose the name in quotation marks, so you're not searching through articles with the word "Vermont" or the word "Air" in them. Also you can narrow your date range just to the years when the company was in operation to help weed out false hits. That said, a very quick search on newspapers.com turns up numerous newspaper articles about this company and its operations, so the article clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:NORG. Here's just a few:

"Air Vermont Management Settlement Near" - Rutland Daily Herald, Feb 23, 1984, p. 9
"Safety Questions Clip Air Vermont's Wings" - The Burlington Free Press, Jan 22, 1984, p. 8
"Air Vermont announces plans to halt air service here Jan.2" - The Berkshire Eagle, Dec 23 1984, p. 9
"Airline Flying Again; 2 Executives Resign" - The Burlington Free Press, Feb 4, 1984, p. 12
"Disputed Plane Flown Away From Airport" - Rutland Daily Herald, Jan 10 1984, p. 4
"Financially Ailing Air Vermont Folds Its Wings" - The Burlington Free Press, Mar 3, 1984, p. 1
"Air Vermont to add Pittsfield to New York-Burlington flights" - The Berkshire Eagle, Oct 19, 1983, p. 1
"Air Vermont files bankruptcy petition" - The Bennington Banner, Jan 31, 1984, p. 5
and there are tons more.

Keep Oh my goodness - thank you RecycledPixels! I just double-checked to see what I did and apparently I added the "Virginia" filter to newspapers.com and not "Vermont"! Thank you for catching this - with that I withdraw and !vote Keep as nom. Chetsford (talk) 21:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
