Fails WP:N. Cessnas crash all the time. Only a handful of people were killed in this one, and for the two who have articles, it's quite sufficient to mention the manner of death in their respective biographies (which we already do). Biruitorul (talk) 04:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - I specifically checked this out before creating the article. It is a notable crash that meets the WikiProject Aviation guidelines:-

General aviation/corporate aviation/private aircraft: Accidents are generally not notable unless unusual circumstances are involved, notable people are involved (my bolding), or the incident/accident otherwise results in downstream changes to the industry or procedures. Note: momentary news coverage, which would not last beyond the immediate timeframe of the accident, does not confer notability.

In this case, there are two notable people involved - Richard Lloyd and David Leslie - so the article does meet the criteria above. The full text is available here Mjroots (talk) 05:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
