2015 Afghanistan helicopter crash

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Miltary aircraft accidents are rarely notable unless other factors come into considerations, like the death of someone wiki notable, I cant see any factors here that make this accident of note for a stand-alone article, mention at List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2010–present) is all that is required.

 * Keep. A crash killing seventeen people isn't routine even in military terms. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:10, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp. 217.30.195.63 (talk) 21:44, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete the number of deaths has no bearing on whether the article should be kept. Is there significant in-depth coverage? No there isn't; the requirements of the general notability guidelines have not been met. YSSYguy (talk) 08:21, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per above, can be mentioned in 2015 in aviation or 2015 in Afghanistan instead. Brandmeistertalk  08:42, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable unless there was a notable person among the dead, casualties on the ground, or civilian passengers, doesn't matter how many dead--Petebutt (talk) 15:48, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Definitely not notable. Haven't even heard of this before. Versus001 (talk) 19:35, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep – A helicopter crash killing 17 people – whether civilian or military – is automatically notable because of the unusually high death toll. Any military crash with a death toll that high is far from routine. Such a crash probably would not be nominated for deletion if it occurred in the United States, Canada, or Europe, which should be a factor in considering the "notability" of the accident.

 * Delete This article fails WP:GNG by a mile.-- Eat me, I'm a red bean (take a huge bite)i've made a huge mess 00:19, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Not enough content, if more is added it would be keepable SOXROX (talk) 01:13, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - It is hard to call a crash killing 17 "routine," but it does seem that consensus is that military crashes of this magnitude are generally not regarded as sufficiently noteworthy to merit stand-alone encyclopedic coverage. This decision would have been harder if this piece was more than a stub. Carrite (talk) 02:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, no lasting impact shown Kraxler (talk) 18:32, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
