Tragic but military training accidents are very common and therefore rarely notable. WP:NOTNEWS also applies. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: I concur with wiliam. Military accidents are non-notable in themselves, unless notable for other reasons, like:- notable passengers, notable crew, casualties on the ground, mid-air with civilian aircraft. Anything where the notability is gained from something other than the crash itself. Just another pile of scrap in RAF Dogger Bank, is definitely not notable.--Petebutt (talk) 20:19, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: Apologies, I created the article to soon, violating WP:RECENTISM and of course WP:AIRCRASH. (Regarding the latter) I'm not familiar with the WikiProject and I didn't see the page linked on WP:N...

 * Colleagues above are citing WP:AIRCRASH as a grounds for deletion. It says: "Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting.

 * Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS, military planes crash frequently, nothing to indicate anything notable about this crash. Mztourist (talk) 03:12, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet notability. USAF planes crash a lot, each of them doesn't need an article of its own Field Marshal Aryan (talk) 10:04, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, fighter jets crash all the time. Vici Vidi (talk) 05:26, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
