notability WP:N, and what Wikipedia is not WP:NOT. Non-notable accident. The aircraft involved was at the end of its life, so the relatively minor damage would cause an Insurance write-off. No casualties, none or very few even minor injuries, no notable persons or objects affected, no lasting effects, the list is endless Petebutt (talk) 05:34, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete hardly noteworthy enough for an article as Petebutt has explained. MilborneOne (talk) 13:12, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable per WP:Aircrash; a runway excursion resulting in no serious injuries nor changes to aviation procedures warrants a paragraph in the "Accidents and Incidents" section of the article for EWR, but not an entire article. Carguychris (talk) 16:36, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails notability guidelines for an aircraft incident article. Agree with adding it to the Newark Liberty International Airport page. - Samf4u (talk) 12:56, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Hard one for me to decide and I think it was a bit premature to nominate this for deletion yet, per the suggestion at WP:RAPID (same applies to whether or not the article should have been created in the first place, but it's here now). On the one hand, the incident was not notable, in the generic sense of the word, it was a hard landing that caused damage and disruption, and that happens all the time. Well, not really, but pretty frequently. No injuries or fatalities. On the other hand, the incident may result in a hull loss based upon the amount of damage it sustained, which raises it above my "keep" threshold, despite Petebutt's probably accurate statement that it could be an insurance write-off due to the age of the craft, there just hasn't been any reporting on the fact yet of whether that is the case. I also haven't seen anything about how many hours the aircraft has flown, which is a more accurate measure of how much life the aircraft has left in it. The incident has received international news coverage, I just don't know whether or not the coverage will remain sustained over time. It's too soon to tell. So, don't delete yet. If the plane is repaired and returns to service and we don't learn anything new from the investigation, it would be an easy delete. RecycledPixels (talk) 17:35, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per WP:NOTNEWS, we do not need to document every single airplane crash, especially not those where no one died or was injured.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:01, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete on notability grounds. There were no deaths, no serious injuries, and no fires. The only significant impact was that the passengers had to disembark by airstairs. Professionally handled it seems, but we don’t need a standalone article for every single accident (otherwise, we would be here forever). --Minoa (talk) 12:55, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per others. Spengouli (talk) 15:32, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
