 * Comment. Seems to fall under WP:ONEEVENT, but at the same time it's a well referenced and complete article. Not a spam by any means, borderline, informative... pure rules lean towards deletion, but I don't feel strongly enough about it to even say week delete. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:59, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:AIRCRASH. The loss of a small private airplane must be unusual for notability to accrue, and this one isn't. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:42, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep or possibly Merge with 2014 SOCATA TBM crash. Thank you all for your input! These kinds of discussions keep wikipedia consistent and with good content!! I would like to reference Articles for deletion/2014 SOCATA TBM crash as a similar example where the article doesn't necessarily meet requirements but is interesting enough to keep: military aircraft intercept the pilot, well sourced, loss of contact with the pilot, WP:Wikipedia is not paper, as well as the fact that a plane flying on autopilot until it flies past its destination, runs out of fuel, and crashes because the pilot fell unconscious is pretty unusual and quite interesting. Unfortunately decompression accidents are fairly common, but in this case we don't really know why the pilot became impaired and eventually incapacitated. I agree the pilot is not wikinotable, however he was an important person at Harley Davidson for over 30 years, and an Air Safety Institute safety warning was issued about hypoxia later on.

 * Comment: I've nominated that crash for deletion too. "Interesting enough" (aka WP:ILIKEIT) is not a valid reason to retain an article. Uncontrolled decompression lists major incidents. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:48, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I was the AfC reviewer who accepted this draft. I initially declined it on the basis of notability – my full analysis can be found on Talk:2014 Cirrus SR22 crash. I accepted the draft following a discussion with Ferret25, the creator, as they were willing to defend the article against deletion. Personally, I also think the topic of the article is interesting, but admittedly, there is little evidence of the kind of persistent/continued coverage expected of a topic in an encyclopedia. Merge to Cirrus SR22 is another option. Mz7 (talk) 20:41, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete / Merge to Cirrus SR22 - WP:GNG - not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petebutt (talk • contribs) 02:24, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Friendly tip: You need to say why you think so, this is not a vote


 * Keep it achieved wide coverage in the media. ONEEVENT is not applicable as it is not about the person, or plane but the incident. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:59, 7 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge to Cirrus SR22 § Accidents and incidents. This would improve the merge target article, which presently has no content about this crash. North America1000 02:25, 11 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Per the article: "A similar event happened only weeks later to another small privately operated aircraft near Jamaica, which lead to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association's Air Safety Institute to issue a safety warning" - now, the AOPA isn't the FAA, but this (in combination with the similar event, 2014 SOCATA TBM crash) still caused some changes within the aviation community (if nothing at all, awareness) as to the issues which seem to have caused it. 69.165.196.103 (talk) 11:37, 11 August 2017 (UTC) Also, removing this article does not help improve Wikipedia, since it is a quality article about a type of incident, which, although rare, does happen and merits being covered (if nothing else, this should be merged with a suitable article). 69.165.196.103 (talk) 03:09, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
