Notability - originated from a banned user sockpuppet - wartime crashes are ten a penny, this accidents only claim to fame is the Norwegian crew Petebutt (talk) 23:46, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This was a military combat flight and not a civilian courier flight to neutral Sweden?--Oakshade (talk) 00:00, 4 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete per G5 - denial of speedy because "others have edited it" ignored fact that others' edits were very minor. WP:DENY the community banned sockpuppeteer. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:09, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per The Bushranger...William 12:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DENY and because it doesn't meet the WP:GNG. This sockpuppeteer chooses very obscure crashes to write about, presumably in a bid to escape attention from the community; the status of the flight has no relevance and does not confer notability, this event has no widespread significant coverage, only a database entry. IMO a G5 Speedy would have been appropriate, as the edits by others were not significant. YSSYguy (talk) 21:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The one and only source for the article, ASN, doesn't name the plane, say icing was the cause of the crash, name the airplane, etc etc....William 02:45, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
