 * Delete - the article is a mess at this point and most of the few uncited details contradict aviation media reports. That ref gives enough information say that the crash is WP:RUNOFTHEMILL (common military aircraft crash with no lasting effects beyond the death of one person) and thus no more notable than a car accident that results in one death and thus not notable enough for an article. If it turns out to be a notable accident for some reason, a new article can be created then. - Ahunt (talk) 13:30, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I've added the incident to the list of military aircraft accidents, so it's not like we're losing the information entirely (though obviously it has the potential to be expanded as new info comes to light). Primefac (talk) 14:10, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable for stand alone stub; in the end, trivia and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Kierzek (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete If kept, the title needs to be changed. The only source indicates this was an Army helicopter, not an Air Force bird.  --Lineagegeek (talk) 20:06, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable operational hazard of military aviation!!--Petebutt (talk) 02:21, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Tragic but not notable military accident. WP:NOTNEWS applies....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:56, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Unfortunate, but minor, non-notable event for a military aircraft and does not warrant a stand alone article. Better covered in the aircraft article, other article, or just not at all. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:06, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:AIRCRASH. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:54, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
