1941 Junker Ju 88 crash in Nadur

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable unsourced aircraft incidents during war. Thousands of aircraft were sot down, crashed, destroyed in accidents etc and while the occasional one might be notable, these aren't. Nthep (talk) 12:13, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete The article says no one knows where the plane was when it was shot. Then it crash landed and one of the 3 man crew was killed. (Perhaps someone should have asked the two survivors where it was shot, or if it was even shot). In any event, there were 15,000 Ju88's built, and most were shot down or crashed. This plane and incident does not stand out or have any inherent notability. Fails notability. Redirect or selectively merge to the Malta Aviation Museum article since they have a piece of it on exhibit.  Edison (talk) 15:25, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:GNG - non-notable military aircraft operational crash. Well outside the bounds of notability without other factors, such as notable victim etc. etc..--Petebutt (talk) 16:27, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Breaking news: Lots of aircraft were shot down in World War II. With extremely rare exceptions (e.g. Operation Vengeance), they don't rate individual articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:37, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of articles for every downed aircraft during wartime. While WP:OUTCOMES does list certain cases where every occurrence of something is inherently notable, this ain't one of them. Delete and/or selectively merge to Malta Aviation Museum, as suggested above. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:08, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence this is particularly notable, agree with everything stated above. Shelbystripes (talk) 17:09, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:51, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all as nothing at all close to minimally convincing for substance. SwisterTwister   talk  07:29, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete No proof of notability....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:20, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Merely one of numerous aircraft shot down in WWII. Possibly a brief merge to a list of exhibits in the museum might be appropriate, but we cannot have an article on every museum object.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:31, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not meet WP:GNG, no useable sources found, only wiki mirrors. Coolabahapple (talk) 04:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
