Delete. A plane had mechanical problems and was diverted to another destination in order to fix them? That's seriously it? The engine blew out in my Subaru last month and I had to have it towed, can we have an article on that as well? Not even remotely notable by any metric.

Delete plus comment. This isn't a notable incident at all.
That said, the television show Mayday has just aired an episode on this incident. I don't think that's good enough reason to save the article but I had to be honest and bring it to everyone's attention.(Note- There is often controversy about what Mayday will and won't air. See this[1] for example. I've done lots of edits to the List of Mayday episodes page and Northwest 85 was made into a episode and it aired last week in Canada per Discovery Canada.) Honestly with so many other interesting crashes or incidents, the selection of Northwest 85 for a television episode is just baffling to me.- William 19:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No damage, no injuries or deaths, no changes to procedures, issuance of an airworthiness directives or changes to regulations, just a minor unservicability in flight. Fails to meet WP:AIRCRASH, totally non-notable, non-event. - Ahunt (talk) 20:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not a notable incident. --JetBlast (talk) 00:46, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It did air, but I don't know why they chose this episode. Qantasplanes (talk) 12:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Northwest Airlines#Incidents and accidents. No notability, not a personal news site. ApprenticeFan ^work 23:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
