This is a well referenced article. A fighter pilot dying in action is a significant and noteworthy person. Moreover the person was a Commanding Officer of a fighter squadron. No need to delete, but the article can be improved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hitencontractor (talk • contribs) 19:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to 5 Squadron IAF. Buckshot06 (talk) 16:15, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. While tragic, deaths in training accidents are not inherently notable. Aside from the one article announcing his death I can find nothing in reliable sources which might indicate notability. Pburka (talk) 01:55, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:SOLDIER. WP:NOTMEMORIAL also applies....William 11:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Except the times of India article, the remaining three references are database entries, which do not establish notability. --Anbu121 (talk me) 17:17, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Summarize & Merge, The subject of the biography article does not appear to be independently notable per WP:GNG, WP:BIO, or WP:SOLDIER. That being said, although the list does not presently exist, if the subject is as the article says, a fighter ace, the content in the article can be summarized and the name be put into a list regarding Indian Air Force fighter aces. Otherwise, the merged content can be merged into the 5 Squadron IAF as suggested by Buckshot06.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at the article No. 5 Squadron IAF. User Buckshot06 has already merged a summary of this article in it. --Anbu121 (talk me) 21:17, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, great. So do you think the best course of action would be to redirect there if a consensus is reached? Zujua (talk) 02:39, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I said only what the user did, I didn't supported it. The only mention in newspapers is that when the airplane crashed, the pilot was identified as Priyanath. In my opinion, that is too little notability for a redirect. --Anbu121 (talk me) 08:55, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It should be noted that the page seems to have had significant additions to it since I nominated it for deletion, however much of the material seems to be unsourced, and IMO doesn't really seem to change much in terms of its failure of WP:BIO, WP:SOLDIER, and the others mentioned. But in any case, those that have voted to delete should take note and decide if this new info changes their opinion. Zujua (talk) 02:43, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
