Fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. No lasting effects, no sustained coverage – and indeed the very existence of the incident is denied by one of the parties. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ludicrously labelled Russian "victory" per nom. Three French aircraft were allegedly turned back after allegedly entering Russian airspace. Crack open the champagne and stage a victory parade, Ivan! Clarityfiend (talk) 09:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRITERIA. Fails WP:SUSTAINED, WP:GNG and fails WP:LASTING. The Russian victory stated is very dubious as one party even denies an incident happened. Not particularly noteworthy of an article. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 13:11, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete What a confusing article. "Russian victory" in the sense that France didn't violate their airspace and were 40 kilometres away? Obviously this article about a non-existent incident fails every notability policy imaginable. AusLondonder (talk) 15:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I too am confused. How does one "violate international airspace"? Surely the whole point of international airspace is that it can't be violated? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Same situation as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/March 2024 Polish airspace violation: this event is not notable in the larger course of the war, and, as per above, fails WP:NOTNEWS. Gödel2200 (talk) 13:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The "victory" earned by Russia isn't even a victory, the French planes didn't want to be involved in conflict. I would presume the Russians didn't want to do the same because of NATO's Article 5, so a removal of the article probably is best. 70.167.194.163 (talk) 18:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
