2019 Kauai helicopter crash

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Tragic but small plane/helicopter accidents are very common. WP:NOTNEWS applies. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:00, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete it received worldwide coverage. CNN - etc. No way to know if it is WP:LASTING or notable - or has somehow impacted the industry. I sympathize with the nominator's WP:NOT argument and I believe it applies here. Perhaps in a WP:ATD it can be redirected or merged somewhere - I am just not sure where.Wm335td (talk) 21:08, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The Hawaiian air tourism industry is facing increased scrutiny in general after a number of fatal accidents as noted in 2020; perhaps there could be a larger air tourism article or even a section within Tourism in Hawaii with a table of accidents.

 * Delete - As the article from Mliu92 (above) notes, air tourism is under scrutiny in Hawaii after a number of accidents--not just this one. I can't find anything indicating this crash is singularly notable in that regard. I have a feeling something will happen in Hawaii regarding reforms to air tourism, but that may be captured in a single article that describes the accidents that have happened and driven changes, not requiring a separate article for each...

 * Delete - Run of the mill helicopter accident, with no lasting notability, tragic but not worthy of a stand-alone article. Add an entry in the aircraft's accidents and incidents section. fails WP:NOT WP:LASTING WP:GNG (on the basis that the coverage was short-lived)--Petebutt (talk) 09:28, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Simply fails notability for a stand alone article. - Samf4u (talk) 01:57, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete − WP:RUNOFTHEMILL general aviation accident, tragically with a relatively high fatalities count but otherwise not particularly notable in its own right. --Deeday-UK (talk) 12:20, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep - final reports are not out yet. Bearian (talk) 16:47, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
