Merpati Nusantara Airlines Flight 836[edit]

Not a notable incident- runway overshoots with a few minor injuries are surprisingly common and this has attracted no sustained media coverage. Fails WP:NOTNEWS in that it contains very little but a blow-by-blow account of what is quite a minor incident. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - lack of deaths does not equate to a lack of notability. The airliner was written off, which makes this a major accident. Investigation and the publishing of a report takes time and can be up to two years. Mjroots (talk) 06:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this is almost a carbon copy crash as American Airlines Flight 331 which has a decent page. Also this has a good amount of cites already. 66.220.101.210 (talk) 06:29, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the Merpati Nusantara article. There is nothing in the WP:AIRCRASH guidelines to suggest that an accident resulting in a write-off is a criterion for having a WP article; this article concerns one of three dozen aircraft written-off while in service with Merpati, and one of dozens more to involve Indonesian airlines. The existence of an article concerning "almost a carbon copy crash" is irrelevant to this discussion. YSSYguy (talk) 00:28, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
