Talk:American Airlines Flight 924

Untitled
I do not think we should merge the articles since this events occuring on this flight are more far-reaching than the man shot. It deals with issues about transportation safety, U.S. Air Marshalls, etc., and therefore they should remain separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.158.122 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 18 December 2005

Granted, there are going to be differing reports from differing news agencies, but what is written in here is significantly different from what I am hearing at this moment from CNN. I say we not get ourselves pissed off at eachother over what is "right" and what is "wrong" and just wait until tomorrow. Like I said, otherwise, people will just get angry and we'll have a big fight on our hands. Lancer Sykera 21:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Possible Merger
Well. Putting an event that has occured and (the) person that caused the whole incident or maybe even a small involvement are totally different. The merger would be absolutly unnessesary. ---Tsugaru- 06:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I think it is too early to really discuss merging this article with Rigoberto Alpizar. --Benna 22:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Two seperate articles for now. Dustimagic 22:39, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. Irdepesca572 22:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Consolidate into the Alpizar article, the flight is really not important except in relation to him. DavidLeeWilson 19:31, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Most of the merge discussion seems to be happening in Articles for deletion/Rigoberto Alpizar, right now. --Fangz 21:05, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

There should at least be a small page about the flight itself pointing to Alpizar, otherwise people who'd heard about the flight and not the person himself won't find any info here. What I mean is, this flight *is* special, and I mean *flight*. Sure, it is special because of Alpizar but we need to have a page about the flight, albeit not as long as it is now. Gleb_Belov

I say merge it as right now this is under the category "Accidents and incidents on commercial airliners in the United States". This was not an accident and techinically the incident in question took place on the jetway, not the plane itself. JayKay 23:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

This was discussed at some length back in December. It seems things have settled down so it seems reasonable to try and close the debate. I suggest American Airlines Flight 924 is merged into Rigoberto Alpizar, as there is very little information here that is not on that page, and to redirect this to there.

 * I'd agree with that move to Rig. Alpizar, since the entire incident centers around one person. If it's needed, the redirect can still be categorized by including the category on the same line (no hard return). -- nae'blis (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

woman vs. wife
I changed the text that he was traveling with a woman back to that he was traveling with his wife. The woman was heard by a witness to shout "My husband, my husband!" (see the nytimes article, among others), so I think we can fairly deduce that she was his wife. It also makes more coherent sense than her just being a random woman. --Squigish 02:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

bomb claim
Several news articles contain information that Rigoberto Alpizar claiming to have a bomb might be wrong. Although the sky marshals say it's so, witnesses claim that Alpizar didn't speak at all. All together the situation is way too confused and based on rumors more than facts. I'd consider not just typing off news reports. --Madayar 21:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge
I support the idea. Raichu 22:28, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So do I but nobody seems to be interested. (Especially considering nobody has commented in 4 months) I think the best way would be to merge it into the Rigoberto Alpizar article, which would remain, replacing the American Airlines Flight 924 article. The content is about Alpizar and his death, not necessarily the flight. ​​​​AuburnPilot​​​ ​ (Talk) 00:21, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, after reading the full article, it seems there is really no information in this article that isnt in the Rigoberto Alpizar article, with the exception of some background commentary. Maybe the best thing to do is simply delete this article or replace it with a redirect to the Alpizar article. ​​​​AuburnPilot​​​ ​ (Talk) 00:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Just redirect it (actually, I'll do that now); it's likely/possible that some information was transferred from here to the RI article, and deleting this article damages our compliance with GFDL licensing requirements. -- nae'blis 18:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
