Per WP:NOTNEWS. The majority of news sources are primary. There is a failure of WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE with coverage ending three weeks ago and WP:SUSTAINED. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 13:14, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep a crash with 9 fatalities is not an everyday occurence, it succeeds WP:NOTNEWS due to the number of fatalities and is the second most fatal helicopter crash this year second to the Lumut Mid-air collision this year, it is the single most fatal crash this year also.

Just because something is not an everyday occurence doesn't mean it has to be included. If we were to do this, we would have hundreds of articles on accidents that are likely not notable enough to be included in wikipedia other than the number of deaths.

Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article. All news coverage ended three weeks ago. Even searching the term brings up different helicopter accidents not related to this event.

All news sources whether cited or not are all primary sources without much analysis of the event and are all short in length. The event doesn't have much significant coverage with no secondary sources.

If a helicopter with three people on board crashed and it were the second deadliest (or first) helicopter accident of the year, would an article on that accident need to be created? Aviationwikiflight (talk) 15:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per WP:NOTNEWS this should be deleted. Frankly 2024 Lumut mid-air collision probably should be deleted as well. Allan Nonymous (talk) 20:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2024 Lumut mid-air collision had significant coverage as i've listed below :

[1]

[2]

[3]

3 Mainstream sources from seperate parts around the world covered it, however thats for a different discussion, here we have :

[4]

[5]

only 2 here but still enough to cover this and pass Notability guidelines here combined with the sources cited in the article. Lolzer3000 (talk) 15:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first source is just a bing search that brings up absolutely nothing related to this accident. The only news shown are from the 2024 Varzaqan helicopter crash.

The second source given is a primary source that adds nothing new to the accident. As stated before, the article must have clearly sustained continued coverage which the event fails. As tragic as the accident was, the event clearly does not have significant coverage and lacks secondary sources. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 16:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the first one, was in a rush to pack up for class didnt see i linked a random bing search this is what i was trying to link : [6] my apoligies! Lolzer3000 (talk) 17:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine :)

The source you linked, published ~1 day after the accident contains pretty much the same content as other sources without adding anything new to the accident. Whilst it is a reliable source, the article is pretty small and is quite short when compared to other recent aviation accidents. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 17:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: no WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, seems unlikely to have WP:LASTING effects. Rosbif73 (talk) 13:22, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
