Keep—Incorrect application of WP:AIRCRASH. AIRCRASH is a content guideline, which states practices for including details on crashes in the articles of the parent airline, aircraft model, airport, etc. It is not a notability guideline. This particular crash is covered by multiple (very) reliable sources, referenced in the article, and thus passes the GNG. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 21:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - only references are contemporary news reports so in ambit of WP:NOTNEWS, no-one of notability killed. At best fold into article on Ecuador aviation or aircraft type. GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:33, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:AIRCRASH for content (military plane crash, no notable personages involved and no significant changes to procedure) and fails WP:GNG for notability (no WP:PERSISTENCE beyond initial news reports). A tragic accident but not one significant enough for its own article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:35, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete nothing particularly notable about the accident, already listed at List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2000–present) which is all that is needed (although that could do with a little more detail) MilborneOne (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because nobody notable died in the crash, and the accident did not result in any changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry. OSU1980 02:24, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
