Malaysia Airlines Flight 91

Lacks notability. – Zntrip 01:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is no information beyond what is already at Malaysia Airlines#Incidents & accidents. Agree with nominator that it is not notable. Flyguy649^talk_contribs

Delete Wikipedia precedent is that accidents causing significant loss of life (this varies depending on the era) are notable. Generally, those that cause a major change in the aviation industry (in terms of manufacture, design, regulation, or even corporate ownership) are also notable, as are the first accidents of any type or design and any acts of terrorism. An engine exploding on takeoff is not uncommon enough to be notable unless it is related to one of the above. I don't see that this incident caused Malaysia Airlines to sell off its fleet of 777s or prompted a redesign of the aircraft or engine type. It was just an engine explosion. --Charlene 12:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Charlene said it better than I could. In the grand scheme of aviation incidents, this is just a blip on the radar. Thank God, nobody got hurt. YechielMan 15:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I know I'm a shameless hypocrite as I'm contradicting what I said five minutes ago, but in this case even though it does have multiple independent etc I don't see any grounds for keeping it - it didn't cause any redesign of the aircraft, change of policy, drop in passenger numbers or anything else to affect anything else other than the aircraft's insurers - iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails notability criteria. Was quite a minor accident. Instead, it can be briefly mentioned under the "Accidents and incidents" section of the main article. This had basically no impact in the industry. Terence 12:05, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
