Violation of WP:NOTNEWS. Such events happen from time to time and are not notable. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 14:07, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Glad only minor injuries to a few people. And guys how about starting a website which records every mishap in the airline industry, rather than using WP for that when this is supposed to be an encyclopedia to give basic information on notable topics to the general public?

- There already is such a place, although not in wikiform. It's a great specialist reference tool. Note the key word, people: It is a specialist publication, not a list of missing encyclopedia topics. The problems are twofold: the language is too technical for many, and it is fairly low-profile.

KEEP - Meets WP:AIRCRASH criteria A3 and P3. Also, the airliner was written off, which also adds to notability here. Mjroots (talk) 16:53, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This was created at a time when the language of WP:AIRCRASH was such that it included just about anything that happened on an airliner. More recently, common sense alternatives have been adopted so that incidents that don't merit their own article are mentioned elsewhere; in this case, it could go in the article about Kingfisher Airlines. We really should have an article about "runway overruns", but most such incidents never become notable enough, thank God, to merit their own article. Mandsford 16:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a followup, A3 now reads "If the accident or incident matches criteria only in this section, then coverage should normally be on the article about the aircraft or airline." This doesn't appear to qualify under P3 (Criminal prosecution - one or more of the aircrew, maintenance workers, or other professionals involved (including executives) are subject to criminal prosecution or military discharge.) Even at that, meeting more than one criterion is not an automatic notability . I have no objection to a bold redirect of the article to Kingfisher Airlines, given that Mjroots put a good deal of work into it under the policy that existed at that time, and there's no reason I see to erase the history, where details can be merged into the airline article.

Keep, resulted in long-term repercussions, largely investigation into the incident, the release of which guarantees further coverage, but also, though it's somewhat less notable, the actions taken against several personnel involved in the incident by the government.

Delete. Have an article on the crash is not justified as it is not the crash that is what is historically notable. The significance and repurcussions are evidently related to several airlines, pilots, and/or the airport involved due to a series of failures and errors, and not just this particular crash, and therefore this can be adequately covered in other articles without violating NOT#NEWS.
