- Delete a company like this could potentially be notable (c.f. Expedia) but there is no real claim of notability in the article, and I can't find any external evidence either. Thparkth (talk) 22:40, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep It definitely needs improvement and more citations but on Google Scholar you can find articles that referenced the company's information in published journals like this one, and it's published information on travel in the UAE is often cited by local newspapers like here, or here, and here. I think there are far less notable sites on here, and one that actually releases data on the local travel industry (albeit as a means of promotion) is worth having an article with basic information.

- In my opinion none of those links are substantially *about* musafir.com, which they would need to be in order to establish notability. Thparkth (talk) 12:22, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- all this links are Trivial mentions, not talking about this website directly.--Ibrahim.ID ✪ 16:07, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. There are a ton of results on Google News, ProQuest, etc., but none of them seem to be in-depth and independent enough to demonstrate notability. Most of what I'm seeing is either a passing mention (e.g. "according to Such-and-So from Musafir.com) or rephrased press releases that aren't actually independent content. As it stands I'm thinking the company isn't notable, particularly under the more exacting WP:NCORP standard, though I'm glad to reconsider if there are any solid sources that I've missed.
