Delete - Not only does the search turn up only one, unreliable source that gives a poor account of the incident, but there's also another, unrelated incident in which a DL flight operating under the same flight number had to make an emergency landing regarding a lavatory issue, and most sources list it as an active flight number. hmssolent\^{Let's convene} _{My patrols} 02:30, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - First, hijacking a plane is not an insignificant crime, it seems to me to meet notability. Nominating editor does not give any logic why we considers this particular hijacking to be non notable. Second, a search of news archives on Google [1] shows that the Associated Press reported the hijacking on the wire. The AP story was carried in newspapers as far away as Montreal and New Hampshire. This adds up to notability to me. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 02:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Weak keep. The newspaper sources seem reliable enough, but hijackings were fairly prevalent around that time (cf. List of Cuba – United States aircraft hijackings), and so an individual hijacking may be seen as less notable. Nevertheless, the article does expand past a blurb in the list, so we're probably better off keeping it. — daranz [ t ] 02:31, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesnt appear to be any evidence that this is particularly notable. MilborneOne (talk) 20:21, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
