Hawaiian Airlines

There have not been official announcements if or when Hawaiian would join Oneworld. Wording should be made conditional rather than definite ("Hawaiian Airlines may be a future member...") Nin10dude317 (talk) 18:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Prospective Future Members

By adding a prospective future members section under future members allows airlines such as Starlux to be mentioned as they have, many times, told media that they aim to join Oneworld by the end of 2025. 91.110.193.48 (talk) 23:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Prospective does not mean future member. Prospective members in the past include MIAT Mongolian, Aer Lingus, and China Southern — none of which ever joined.
An airline stating they wish to be a member is not a primary source from oneworld. Nin10dude317 (talk) 07:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Lowercase formatting

I notice that the article title is using all-lowercase formatting as "oneworld", while many independent reliable sources appear to capitalize the first letter. Per MOS:TM, trademarks, brand names, and the names of companies are generally capitalized. I believe "Oneworld" should be capitalized. Also see MOS:ALLCAPS. MOS:TM has relevant examples like "pyrex", "skate", and "macy's". It says not to use stylized forms unless the name is "almost never written except in a particular stylized form".

I found wholesale lowercasing in a pair of recent IP edits (22 January) that was only partially reverted in the next edit. A Template:Tl template was added later in another IP edit of 17 March. I think all that should be reverted.

  • Support UC Per MOS:TM we generally cap such a name and the threshold to use an alternative styling is set quite high. I have considered usage in sources used in the article that are not released by the organisation itself. The usage in independent sources tends to capitalise. I even see a few cases where Oneworld uses caps. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:25, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
