 * Keep well sourced, passes the general notability guideline. "NOTNEWS" is hard to gauge on current events, but there's been enough coverage that I think we've surpassed that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:53, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment I created MASwings Flight 3002 a while back, and it got converted into a redirect after going through an AfD, I see no difference in this case - TheChampionMan1234 20:52, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, here is the AfD in question. The accident occurred in October 2013, the article was made and the AfD was started in August 2014‎, and was concluded on September 15.  Here is the article prior to becoming a redirect.  In that case, the reason the AfD was brought forth was because of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:GNG, and WP:AIRCRASH.  In the end, both sides used WP:AIRCRASH, which recommends that it not be cited at AfD.  WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS was also cited as a counter to other articles to delete if that article was deleted and WP:EVENT was cited under the opinion that the article failed to meet it.   So, the possible issues would be WP:NOTNEWS, WP:GNG, and WP:EVENT.  We have heard about each, except for WP:EVENT. As for the articles themselves, that article only had three sentences with a single citation when compared to the current article having what appears to be nine sentences and sixteen citations.  Furthermore, the other article was created several months after the accident, while we are still within a week of the accident at this point.  So, I do see some differences between the two cases.  --Super Goku V (talk) 00:02, 2 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Well-sourced, I think it passes the notability guidelines. --Good afternoon (talk) 12:34, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep the type of flight and aircraft would normally make this non-notable but under the "hit something import and or killed somebody important" criteria ( no I dont think that rule it is written down anywhere, doesnt mean I cant quote it. ), the fact that it hit and killed people in the simulator building makes it notable.

 * Redirect to Wichita_Mid-Continent_Airport. Wikipedia is not for the news cycle, and this is unlikely to gain the persistence of coverage necessary to pass WP:EVENT. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 19:02, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
