2021 Birch Hills County helicopter crash

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Tragic but WP:NOTNEWS applies. Private plane crashes are very common and unless somebody famous is on board, are rarely notable. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:32, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Draftify We shouldn’t “fully” delete it. We should draftify it so we can work on it more. – Cupper 52 Discuss! 11:58, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - non-notable GA crash. Mjroots (talk) 11:50, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Though it would have been more expansive and more respectful (in my opinion) to those who died since this is a fatal accident, it isn't really notable for an article to include such a thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.199.214.106 (talk) 13:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - According to the opinions above.--Fernandokaiserbr (talk) 14:32, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete a sad event but hardly noteworthy for an encyclopedia article, just another one of many thousands of general aviation accidents which are rarely of note. MilborneOne (talk) 14:34, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above. Also refer to WP:NOTNEWS. Air accident articles expect notability, either due to large number of casualty or celebrity death.廣九直通車 (talk) 13:20, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOTNEWS. According to the opinions above. A Mitzikarl A • Let's talk • 02:54, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: GA accidents happen all the time. This has no significant impact or legacy on the aviation industry too; if it does then it can be notable.  Gerald WL  06:51, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Tragic as these are for the family involved, this is a just another, very common, WP:RUNOFTHEMILL non-notable, light aircraft crash. No more notable than a car accident. Fails WP:LASTING and WP:NOTNEWS. - Ahunt (talk) 16:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Tragic though it may be for the family and friends of the deceased, it isn't Wikipedia's job to maintain an article about every individual thing that happens in the world. It's not enough that this generated a blip of local news coverage in the first day or two — to warrant an article, this would have to show enduring significance that goes well beyond just being in the news, and there's no evidence that it has that.
