• Comment This aircraft crash appears notable to me per WP:GNG, caused 5 casualty, 4 inside plane + 1 on ground. I would like to hear from WP Aviation editors on how crash articles are evaluated. --DBigXrayᗙ 11:32, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

  @DBigXray: - see WP:AIRCRASH which is a well regarded essay (but not policy). This one however is borderline per AIRCRASH (which is not coverage based, as the Beechcraft King Air is a borderline light aircraft - is MTOW varies by model and is at the edge of the criteria set in AIRCRASH). The crash being fatal - including casualties on the ground - increases chances of notability. WP:GNG trumps AIRCRASH is any event - the question here is assessing coverage.Icewhiz (talk) 06:24, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

• Weak Keep. Borderline in terms of meeting AIRCRASH (borderline size, but the plane was doing a a chartered passenger flight, there were casualties, and notably this crashed into a city and caused a casualty on the ground as well). Very widely covered in June. Some coverage in July - [1][2][3]. I'm at weak as I don't see coverage in August - however seeing we're evaluating this on 2 September (2 months and a bit from the event) - this is a somewhat RAPIDish situation - my personal crystal ball however does divine some additional coverage is likely (per judicial probes and the like).Icewhiz (talk) 06:32, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
  • The 2nd link (xinhuanet) is on an entirely different incident, just noting. SD0001 (talk) 19:12, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

• Agree, 2nd link is about another incident, but it does mention this incident in passing. --DBigXrayᗙ 21:04, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

• Keep After sitting on the sidelines, I am going for Keep as it passed WP:GNG due to the significant coverage WP:SIGCOV it recieved in national and international media BBC Independent UK and NYT there was coverage after the incident as well , And Although I have not found but due to the CBI investigation, I am sure this incident led to changes in the Standard operating procedures in India. --DBigXrayᗙ 21:45, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
