 * keep. It has more than passing notability, and is not a personal memorial. The list of passengers is perhaps excessive, and could be replaced with just those missing and dead, but that is a content issue, not a reason for deletion.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 19:28, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perhaps not something that will be remembered 20 years from now, but has a little effect on international relations (specifically tourism). The article appears well-developed by the page creator, although I also support removing the unencyclopedic "Passengers and crew" section. Timmyshin (talk) 02:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is definitely notable.It is definitely not a memorial. The article can be more encyclopedic by removing the "passengers and crew" section and mention only the few notable ones. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 can be a template for this type of article. Cerevisae (talk) 10:51, 3 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep A very well-documented and notable accident. I have also changed the title of the article to the current standard. Nördic   Nightfury  17:11, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
