Done Antonio Free Bird Martin

Plot to Kill Imbert Barrera?
Many people think that this accident was a murder attempt against Antonio Imbert Barrera. Since he was planing to fly with his wife and daugther to Puerto Rico. In a last minute decision he decide to stay in Dominican Republic.

Antonio Imbert Barrera is one of two survivors of those who, at the behest of the CIA, assassinated Trujillo in 1961.

Mr. Imbert Barrera was also President of the Dominican Republic representing the Loyalist party from 7 May to 30 August 1965.

Sources? Flight number?
Unlike most air crash articles on Wikipedia, this one is completely unsourced. The article makes references to an investigation, but does not mention the flight number (which would obviously be in any investigative report). I have tagged this for sourcing and verification. --MCB 07:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I added a link with information about the DC9 accidents in AirSafe I can't find more details about this flight in the web. mrocha

Seems brief ?
99% of other aircraft accident reports i've read on Wikipedia are extremely detailed and interesting to read. This one seems a little short on information about the contaminated fuel, what it was contaminated with, how it came to be used on the plane etc. It seems more interested in which celebrities were on the plane. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.61.131.150 (talk) 07:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

New version of the article (translated from Russian and it's still a community draft)
So I translated the article from the Russian version and made a public draft out of it. Please help me. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dominicana_DC-9_air_disaster I will not submit the draft for review until it's satisfactory. I'm a member of the AATF just to let you know. Thank you in advance.Tigerdude9 (talk) 22:59, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

More reliable information
We need more information on the flight number that must be reliable. I have also found the ONLY image of the aircraft involved, except it's from a blog, which isn't very reliable source, but nevertheless here's the link, as it may have more information(unless you have already seen it previously): http://imullix.blogspot.com/2017/01/la-baja-accidentalidad-de-dominicana-de.html Still though, we need sources that are reliable! Tigerdude9 (talk) 16:40, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

I have renamed the page to Dominicana Flight 603.
The reason is that Mayday Air Disasters have CLEARLY mentioned it in their twitter page here: https://twitter.com/aircrashmayday/status/831850589642485760?lang=en. It is also standard proceedure to name an airline accident by their flight number. Now, please leave the page to Dominicana Flight 603.


 * If you bothered to read this page, this has been discussed before. It was discussed here too. There is no reliable source for the flight number and Mayday is not considered a reliable source. This page is being moved back and I am requesting move protection....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:32, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Here is a reliable source which states that the flight number is 603 if the Mayday one isn't: https://www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash-douglas-dc-9-32-santo-domingo-102-killed. Username006 (talk) 10:55, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Per a request at my talk page, I've move protected the article. Any move should be via WP:RM. I would note that it accident is not covered by the Aviation Safety Network, so I am unable to confirm a flight number via that source. Maybe contemporary newspapers have the answer? There are free access newspapers listed at WP:SHIPS/R if an editor wants to do some digging. If a flight number can be verified, then the article should be moved to the flight number title. Mjroots (talk) 10:57, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Bureau of Aircraft Accident Archives is an official website even mentioned by wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_accidents_and_incidents#Bureau_of_Aircraft_Accidents_Archives_(B3A) Username006 (talk) 11:16, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 1 June 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: not moved - it is clear that there will be no consensus to move to the proposed title until the flight number is confirmed by a reliable source. (closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 (talk) 14:07, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Dominicana DC-9 air disaster → Dominicana Flight 603 – The aircraft accident has a flight number (i.e. 603) as shown in baaa-acro.com (https://www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash-douglas-dc-9-32-santo-domingo-102-killed) It is also mentioned in wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_accidents_and_incidents#Bureau_of_Aircraft_Accidents_Archives_(B3A) It is standard proceedure to name an air disaster by their flight number. Username006 (talk) 11:31, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

In fact, here is another website i've found in foreign language also stating that the flight number is 603. http://imullix.blogspot.com/2019/02/el-accidente-del-dc-9-32-de-dominicana.html Username006 (talk) 17:18, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Also, ASN also mentions it as DO603 here: https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19700215-0 Username006 (talk) 17:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello. Perhaps the following Dominicana timetable from 1970 can play some role in resolving this issue?...

 * Itsfullofstars (talk) 19:33, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Its been pointed out earlier. That 1- The timetable is for months after the accident occurred and 2- It was a different type of aircraft than the one that crashed....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:50, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * My apologies. I didn't see it mentioned on this page.  Well, at least other wikipedians will be less likely to repeat my error since this talk page now mentions the timetable.  FWIW I've done quite a bit of googling and newspaper archive searches looking for the flight number—concentrating solely on news articles written in 1970 (including Spanish-language ones even though my Spanish is very rusty)—with no luck either. Itsfullofstars (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I know I said at my talk that I wouldn't comment here, but as my comments are now in this section I'm making this a formal oppose. I fully appreciate Username006's position on this issue, having recently argued against moving the Ryanair Flight 4978 article away from a flight number to a different title. I'm not against moving the article per se, but we really need a source that predates at least the first airing to the Mayday/Aircrash Investigation programme. I've looked at newspaper sources such as The Times and the Delpher Kranten archive and come up with nothing. Who is the accident investigation authority for the Dominican Republic? A copy of the investigation report would be irrefutable. Mjroots (talk) 06:15, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Dominican newspapers for the period 1961–70 are searchable at the Archivo General de la Nación. There is one paper for 1970, and none of its articles refer to a flight number. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 07:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

If you are referring to Air disasters then I would mention that on their twitter page, they did say that the Flight's number was 603. I highly doubt that it is a rumour and I'm sure that the flight number is 603 as I referred to several other sources earlier  Username006 (talk) 14:44, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

In fact, the corresponding page in Portuguese, also, mentions the title as Dominicana Flight 603 https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voo_Dominicana_603. Now it should be very much obvious that the flight number is 603. Username006 (talk) 15:03, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * No it shouldn't be. WP can't be used as a source per WP:CIRCULAR. Your persistent ignorance of WP policies and or the twisting of those and what are(Aviation Disasters by David Gero) and aren't reliable sources (The television series Mayday, Wikipedia, self-published blogs like blogspot), plus some of your conduct on other pages, aka [[Flight 603, makes a case of you violating WP:POINTY. I may ask a uninvolved administrator to look into your conduct if you persist. This whole discussion is becoming a timesink....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

I apologise if I have violated these rules but I feel like I'm forced to say a valid correction which you don't seem to agree. Dominicana Flight 603 is quite certain a Flight number because if ASN had disagreed, then it would've obviously not been added in the database. But since it is, then obviously it is correct information. And just like wikipedia, ASN also needs to be cited to a reliable information source. But even after such a move, you don't seem to agree. Also, ASN information can be updated anytime as long as the report is not final through a request by the author. This is the main reason why I would like to stick to this point. Username006 (talk) 17:10, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - I know it's frustrating. None of us are against the article being moved. We just want a decent source first. Find that and the article will be moved. Mjroots (talk) 11:36, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Well, it's not a blog and on the face of it looks good, although I've not run it through Google Translate yet., what do you think? Mjroots (talk) 18:23, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It is self-published. The author is also the owner of the website....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:59, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

How about this one? http://imullix.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html Username006 (talk) 16:31, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * } It is time to drop the stick. You have raised this source before and was told it was not a reliable source. On two other occasions, here and here, you were told that blogspot is not acceptable as a reliable source. The next time you do this, I will either reach out to an uninvolved administrator or go to WP:ANI and ask you be blocked for violating WP:DISRUPT on multiple occasions....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:53, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Question
This section is not about the page move but in the first sentence, it says that the also known as Dominicana DC-9 Santo Domingo air disaster but it doesn't refer it to a citation. Thus, I'd like a citation for it as I'm not entirely sure if it was also really known as that. Username006 (talk) 18:17, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Googling the exact phrase "Dominicana DC-9 Santo Domingo air disaster" in English returned zero hits. Likewise zero hits for a search omitting DC-9 from the phrase: "Dominicana Santo Domingo air disaster".  I suppose there might be a Spanish phrase that would match, but I don't know. Itsfullofstars (talk) 19:37, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * OK, I just now looked at the article itself (I should have done that first, right?) and noticed that the exact phrase in the article is "Dominicana de Aviación Santo Domingo DC-9 air disaster" so my google searches immediately above aren't relevant, are they? Nevermind!  Itsfullofstars (talk) 20:12, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Please don't try to be sarcastic as I'm really not sure if this was really also called so. It can also be called as the Dominicana Carribean air disaster as well. I'm not sure if most people really called it so. This is the main reason why. Username006 (talk) 18:00, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I was having a laugh at *myself*, I assure you, for being lazy and not doing the right google searches. I apologize for any misreading of the tone of my post above.  I tend to be self-deprecating by nature, but how could you know that?  Answer: you couldn't.  In any case, my flippant response wasn't directed at you, but I can see how it could have misconstrued. By the way, I'm leaning towards renaming the article, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to find the flight number.  I thought the timetable was 'good enough' evidence but others disagree, and that's fine.  I understand the concerns about it.  On a happier note, I did manage to find a flight number for another crash, and put it into that article with a cited primary source from the time of that crash.  I've requested a page move, as well.

 * I am still trying to find sources and just because I found another one means that you will report me? Huh? Username006 (talk) 10:23, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Also, you should download that image and see it for yourself Username006 (talk) 10:24, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * It states that it is DO603 from Santo Domingo to San Juan. Also, don't try to unnecessarily push people to drop the stick. We are here to have a discussion and not an argument Username006 (talk) 10:26, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * How does a 1967 source say anything about something that happened in 1970?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:25, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I just said that it is a timetable from 1967 Username006 (talk) 11:35, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * For the third time, how does something written in 1967 prove something in 1970? FYI I am in the process of completing an ANI complaint....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:56, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * ANI filed here....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:10, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Because last time when the timetable was given, you said that it is from a later date and it should be from a date before and also not too old. That's why I gave you this one. This is not a report about the crash from 1970 but rather a timetable. Please try to understand. I would like others to see this as well. This is from a book. Username006 (talk) 12:19, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Please try and follow WP:INDENT, otherwise the conversation is impossible to follow. Canterbury Tail talk 12:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * My opinion, no a timetable from 1967 does not prove what the flight number of this flight was in 1970. Flight numbers change all the time. Anyway we should be referring to this incident by whatever common reliable references refer to it. Canterbury Tail talk 12:35, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 25 December 2023

The result of the move request was: moved. Rough consensus to move to 1970 Dominicana de Aviación DC-9 crash (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 06:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Dominicana DC-9 air disaster → 1970 Santo Domingo Dominicana de Aviación DC-9 crash – The current title is somewhat vague and not very consistent with other aviation accident articles (e.g. 1972 Adana Turkish Airlines DC-9 crash or 1969 Aswan Ilyushin Il-18 crash). On first glance, the current title may seem like a commonly used name, however, a quick search and the references given in the article say otherwise. Since no common name is used to describe this accident, we should follow the essay WP:AATF which states how an article should be named for accidents without a flight number which gives support to the proposed title.

 * Do we need the country in the article title? 1970 Dominicana de Aviación DC-9 crash would seem to be a better title, which I would support. Before anyone raises the flight number issue again, consensus was that the flight number was unverifiable. Until such time that it is verifiable, it is not open for discussion. Mjroots (talk) 11:11, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd also support 1970 Dominicana DC-9 crash. While the airline's article is at Dominicana de Aviación (as disambiguation is needed, see WP:NATURAL), its WP:COMMONNAME is "Dominicana." 162 etc. (talk) 23:46, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the responses and apologize for the late reply. I was a bit carried away with the other titles mentioned above since both used the longer title with the placename but since this is not mentioned in the guidelines, yes, we can go ahead and remove the "Santo Domingo" from the proposed title. Uncertain about the removal of "de Aviación" from the title as it seems that the accident naming convention does keep it as seen in other disasters, even if it does follow(See Cubana de Aviación Flight 455, Intercontinental de Aviación Flight 256 or Mexicana de Aviación Flight 940). Feel free to leave your response below! GalacticOrbits (talk) 15:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
