Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because I think you should take a few seconds to read the news before marking something as vandalism. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/09/british-airways-plane-catches-fire-at-las-vegas-airport Heidiwashere (talk) 02:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as pure vandalism or a blatant hoax, because... (this is a actual flight incident that is happening just a bit early to make a wiki page) --2602:306:33DA:67A0:7D17:8338:B978:C253 (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Engine manufacturer needed[edit]

Whether here, or more likely, only in the Incidents section of British Airways, engine #1 manufacturer needs specifying. --Mareklug ^talk 02:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

Newsworthy. Similar news stories are on wikipedia all the time, and similar plane accident articles. Was story big enough to get on headline news. Vote to keep. Interesting that whoever nominated for deletion hasn't contributed to the talk page to say why. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 07:45, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?[edit]

It there a better consensus name for this article. The flight number represents all flights. Is it not better to have a title like "British Airway Flight 2276 fire" or "incident"? - Master Of Ninja (talk) 07:53, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The current name follows Wikipedia convention. Not always in the flight number retired. For example, type: lot flight 7 into Google, and you will see that it is both a current flight from NYC to Warsaw and a title of our article for the 80s disaster. --Mareklug ^talk 14:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

incoming links[edit]

Special:WhatLinksHere/British_Airways_Flight_2276 throws up some things in the list I wouldn't expect eg Imperial Airways and Aer Lingus. When I follow them up, I don't find a link to this article. Is this a known bug, or am I doing it wrong? GraemeLeggett (talk) 14:59, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They're coming from the IAG navbox after this edit. In the future, you could try using RecentChanges and limiting the scope to templates, e.g. [1]. Alakzi (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see it now. I overlooked it in a template, which at first glance seems to be linking the financial/corporate structure elements, and the incidents are under played. (A case for splitting the template perhaps, but not an argument to be taken up here) GraemeLeggett (talk) 09:42, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Final report[edit]

The final report has been published by the NTSB. I presume that images contained therein are in the public domain. Mjroots (talk) 20:31, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some NTSB reports have a bunch of images from other sources, but these seem to be all uncredited and believably taken by NTSB employees.--Prosfilaes (talk) 04:12, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
