Keep, because this belongs to the chain of events that led to the Libyan–Egyptian War. It's therefore not so much an aviation incident, but rather a political event.[1] I admit that in its current shape, the article is rather useless, but I think it could be greatly improved/expanded.--FoxyOrange (talk) 09:06, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Shouldn't be merged to that, then? Notability is not inherited. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 12:32, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete already covered in Libyan–Egyptian War and not worth a redirect as it is not actually "Flight 737", source just says it was a Egypt Air Boeing 737. MilborneOne (talk) 12:33, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Flight Number Fixed. AmrTarek (talk) 09:48, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, because it is part of the Libyan-Egyptian War and contains info about one of the Sa'ka Forces's engagements. I can provide more info. AmrTarek (talk) 09:51, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep it was a notable event in the process of the war. It seems to me that this would very much be like having an article on the Pearl Harbor bombing or other significant event/battle in a war. It could be improved, but that is not a reason for deletion. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:27, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Neither the article or its source make any mention of the Libyan-Egyptian War. Without a source, any claim it being connected to that, is WP:OR....William 01:34, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a reference in the war article itself that could be easily incorporated. Middle Eastern politics are not my specialty, but I think it is fairly feasible for someone to make this article better than it is now. I really see no reason to delete at this time.

Keep and improve. It sounds like we already have the references to establish notability, they just need to be incorporated into the article. Novusuna ^talk 17:57, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
