Notability

[edit]

I'm not seeing the notability of this event. Per WP:NOTNEWS, we shouldn't cover news solely because it made the news. The requirements for notability at WP:EVENT don't seem to apply, at least not according to the article as written. Small planes crash with relative frequency, and I'm not seeing lasting effects, depth or duration of coverage, and definitely not geographical scope or diversity of sources as is. I'm going to give this article a couple days, then nominate for deletion if someone doesn't improve it to include a qualifying element of notability per WP:EVENT. —ShadowRanger (talk|stalk) 20:57, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and for the record, it wasn't 22 passengers, it was ten passengers and twelve crew. —ShadowRanger (talk|stalk) 21:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's an air crash, and there were multiple fatalities on board - I believe that's enough to qualify it as something more than a news article. Look at the talk page for WP:AIRCRASH - there's good enumeration there. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've posted a more elaborate response in the AfD, but to summarize: WP:AIRCRASH guidelines are strongly against inclusion. The fact that one person disagrees doesn't undo the guidelines. —ShadowRanger (talk|stalk) 21:31, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps. But as I'm the one who deprodded, I'm providing my rationale. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:15, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The AfD closing as "keep" should be conclusive evidence as to the article's notability. Mjroots (talk) 21:52, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP: Death assessment commentary

[edit]

The article was assessed as Start-class, due to lack of coverage. Some issues to consider:

  • The article makes no mention of investigation or any additional factors in the causes of the crash, aside from the plane clipping the hill. Was it all human error?
  • Why were there more crew than passengers? With 12 crew-members and 10 passengers, there would be about one flight-attendant per passenger. Is this a mistake? Or do "scheduled" flights take off regardless of how many passengers are on board?
