Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 Lockhart hot air balloon crash

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep per WP:SNOW. While there may be only two !votes and that the discussion was only opened about 2 hours ago, I don't see any reason why this discussion should continue, unless you want more SNOW/speedy keep !votes piling in. The fact that "not one celebrity even mentioned it" is completely irrelevant to the notability of this crash, and shouldn't be used to justify deletion per WP:NOTNEWS. Furthermore, as the deadliest hot-air balloon crash in U.S. history, it clearly meets our notability guidelines. (non-admin closure) JudgeRM (talk to me) 21:38, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a newspaper, Wikipedia should not report every news story. This story isn't notable. Nobody even knew it happened. Seriously, not one celebrity even mentioned it. Stop putting every tragedy into an article. Enough Flyinglikeaneggle (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep - Notable as the deadliest balloon accident in the United States - 'nuff said. Mjroots (talk) 19:09, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep - As stated above, deadliest balloon accident in the United States. It also meets notability. Celebrities do not need to mention items for them to be on Wikipedia. Dane2007 (talk) 19:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
