Fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. No sign of WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE beyond the initial news cycle, no reason to expect WP:LASTING effects. Rosbif73 (talk) 07:35, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Drafity or keep until a bit after it occurred or when the investigation is finished. Bloxzge 025 (talk) 23:50, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Deserves a mention in 2025 in Australia though. Borgenland (talk) 04:30, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The reports are said to be out in March – and that will no doubt get at least passing mentions in local news – but unless you have a crystal ball there's no way of knowing if there will be any significant or in-depth coverage, or if the conclusions of the investigation will lead to any lasting effects. If they do, the article can always be recreated. In the meantime, notability criteria are not met, so we should delete (or draftify). Rosbif73 (talk) 07:42, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but Draftify I think this should be drafted, and kefp, but have some more info added, as the investigations go across. This does not deserve to be deleted due to "low coverage" A plane accident is a plane accident, no matter how big or small. It is supposed to be in the news.

A plane accident is a plane accident, no matter how big or small – Indeed, but that doesn't necessarily make it notable as far as Wikipedia is concerned. To quote the event notability criteria, "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, [...]) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable".
It is supposed to be in the news – Indeed, but Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Rosbif73 (talk) 13:50, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
