2015 Blackbushe Airport crash

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NOTNEWS and General aviation crashes are very common and considered not notable in most cases. ...William 17:04, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep more than just a "General aviation" crash. Plane involved was a business jet and there are reports of at least four fatalities, making it the deadliest crash in the UK for a number of years - definitely notable. GeorgeGriffiths (talk) 17:06, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - has now been confirmed by police that four people have been killed. GeorgeGriffiths (talk) 18:41, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep for now - It is too early to be able to state definitively that this is a non-notable accident in Wikipedia terms. Knowing the provenance of the aircraft, there is a fair chance that Wikinotable people are involved. Should this be the case, then the case for a stand-alone article is proven.

 * Keep per 's argument -- Pingumeister(talk) 18:37, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - fatal airline crashes, except for small planes in bad weather etc, tend to be notable as there is typically long-term coverage expected when there is an inquiry. —Мандичка YO 😜 22:33, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep with no prejudice for renomination in a few weeks/months. Per Mjroots. Aircraft has the same registration as the aircraft of Mohammed bin laden in which he died when it crashed in 1967. Two or three close relatives of Osama Bin Laden may have been killed in the crash. The Saudis have confirmed family members were on board. The cites aren't the best, but I feel that sometimes articles like this are too quickly taken to AfD without thought. Martin 4 5 1  00:15, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. With unconfirmed reports that family of Osama bin Laden are among the fatalities and that the incident is still being investigated by the AAIB the crash is likely to gain more notability. --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 04:25, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Even before the Bin Laden connection, this would have passed WP:GNG.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:02, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable victims (if only by family), extra-ordinary crash - modern biz-jet just falling out of the sky (less than a mile from my cousin's house)!!! Not a common event.--Petebutt (talk) 12:15, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
