Aircraft accidents
Hi, re the AfD on the Cathay Pacific article you created. Generally, an aircraft needs to have suffered substantial damage for the accident to have at least half a chance of an article on Wikipedia. Don't let the AfD deter you from improving Wikipedia. Many editors have an article they've created deleted via AfD. Consider it as one of those "rights of passage". You may be interested in my own thoughts on the notability of aircraft accidents. I must stress that these are just my thoughts, and carry no authority as to what is and is not a notable accident, although I do hope to convert these into a guideline in future, but this needs much discussion by the community as a whole.

 * Hi. Welcome, again. I have come here from voting "delete" on your article to say, don't be discouraged, it was very much better constructed and presented than most first articles, the only problem was the choice of subject. Wikipedia has to find some way of defining the limits of what it should cover; the most often cited is the General Notability Guideline, but there is also a long list of What Wikipedia is not, which includes WP:NOTNEWS, expanded on in WP:109PAPERS. If you are mainly interested in writing up news events, there is a sister site Wikinews for just that, but I would urge you to stay with Wikipedia, read WP:Your first article, WP:Notability and WP:NOT, and choose another subject - and/or improve some of the many articles that need it.

East Coast (train operating company)
I've reverted of East Coast (train operating company) which introduced a problem with the existing references. Please note that if you are only editing a small section of of an article, you can click on the "[edit]" to the right of the section heading to just edit that section. It also helps if you provide an edit summary in the box below the edit box (which defaults to giving the section heading where used) to help others review your intentions.
