Do you have any evidence that would confirm notability?--Petebutt (talk) 13:53, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

WP:NOTNEWS, GNG, AIRCRASH. uNFORTUNATE YES, NOTABLE NO. Petebutt (talk) 01:57, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Comment @Petebutt:, I will not object to the deletion of the other two aviation accidents and incidents articles that I created, but this one is an exception ( ). If this gets deleted, we should just delete Haughey Air AgustaWestland AW139 crash, 2012 Philippine Piper Seneca crash, and so on. - TheChampionMan1234 03:23, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The retention or deletion of those other articles is irrelevant to whether or not this one should be deleted or kept. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:16, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete - Tragic? Yes. Notable? No. There were 16 people on board and two died. The other examples given above were whole-of-aircraft losses where everyone on board died. Each claimed the life of an independently notable person. The flights don't inherit notability from those on board but are obviously subject to increased media attention because of particular passengers. The fact that an authority launched a routine investigation does not substantiate notability. St★lwart 05:50, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Correction: one person survived the 2012 Philippine Piper Seneca crash but it had broader consequences in terms of the aviation industry. St★lwart 05:52, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep - Commercial airliner crash that involved fatalities, which is criteria that passes WP:AIRCRASH. The nom has only thrown up a WP:VAGUEWAVE rationale. --Oakshade (talk) 04:28, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

WP:AIRCRASH is an essay and one that contradicts policy and guidelines. From the essay itself - "Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting.". St★lwart 10:12, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Besides which, that essay considers the aircraft in question to be a "light aircraft", not an "airliner", and the crash in question doesn't meet either of the criteria specified for light aircraft. So even if we give the essay credence (we shouldn't) the subject still doesn't meet the criteria established there. St★lwart 10:17, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

It was the nom who used WP:AIRCRASH, which this passes, not me. And a 20 person aircraft is not "light aircraft". Smaller than a 747, yes, but not "light." A 2-seater would be "light." I might as well just say "Keep per WP:NOTNEWS, GNG, AIRCRASH" and that would be just as valid as the nom has given zero rational as to why it fails those guidelines.--Oakshade (talk) 20:40, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

That kind of misses the point. We shouldn't be using AIRCRASH at all. But given it has been mentioned, the essay uses gross weight of an aircraft (not number of seats) to differentiate between "light aircraft" and other aircraft. The aircraft in question falls well short of the gross weight specified and so is (according to the essay) a "light aircraft". They aren't my definitions and I think we're better off ignoring the essay and using WP:EVENT (which this also fails). St★lwart 20:52, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Delete or Redirect to MASwings#Incidents and Accidents, where this accident is already mentioned. Unfortunately, it does not meet WP:EVENT because practically all coverage of this crash stopped within two to three days and I see no evidence of any long term effects like a major NTSB investigation, changes to how the builder builds or maintains their aircraft, criminal charges or penalties against the airline, lawsuits from survivors, etc. Yes, two people died, but we do not have articles on every single aviation incident that resulted in a fatality, do we (like the recent jet fighter crash that killed five people in Libya or small plane crash in Ontario that killed one)?

Redirect to MASwings#Incidents and Accidents per Legendary Ranger. This doesn't meet WP:NOTABILITY criteria for a stand-alone article. Boleyn (talk) 09:08, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete or redirect as stated above. WP:AIRCRASH only sets forth the starting point for consideration and, as discussed above, this article does not even meet those guidelines.--Rpclod (talk) 13:24, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
