2021 Centennial Airport mid-air collision

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:NOTNEWS. This incident involved two small planes with only three people onboard both in total, nothing truly substantial. The news coverage on this appears to have dropped after a week or so. For a midair collision that resulted in no fatalities whatsoever, I'm not seeing any persistent national news coverage on this, nor did I even see anything about this in the news on the day it happened. Overall, this event was just a blip on the radar and nothing more. Love of Corey (talk) 03:20, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm reading the four criteria in WP:NOTNEWS, which one do you think applies here and why? - Scarpy (talk) 06:33, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The second one. Love of Corey (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Then I'm completely not following. It's saying newsworthiness does not necessarily imply notability. You're saying this wasn't newsworthy (e.g. was not on the news the day it happened), so it shouldn't be notable. That's reversing that guideline. Notable events may or may not be newsworthy, so we should pay less attention to the newsworthiness and more attention to the the general notability qualities (like we always do) of the WP:RS describing the event, which is what the guideline says. - Scarpy (talk) 18:07, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep – The Swearingen Metroliner is technically a large aircraft with a gross weight of 14,000+ lbs, it was substantially damaged, and it was being operated by a Part 135 certified commercial air carrier; in short, this accident badly damaged a commercial airliner. Per community consensus at WP:AV, these are qualifying criteria for a standalone article. Carguychris (talk) 14:00, 27 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep The Key Lime Air aircraft and was severely damaged and the despite that fact, the plane was able to land is very rare. The media reports are mentioning the incident left right and center too. Easy keep. KlientNo.1 (talk) 05:09, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - false rationale given for nomination. The was not a collsion between two small (i.e. GA) aircraft, but between an airliner and an GA aircraft, which is much higher up the notability ladder. A lack of deaths ≠ a lack of notability. Mjroots (talk) 17:16, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - nomination is a logical non-sequitur, see above discussion. - Scarpy (talk) 18:07, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Not very famous event, and Wikipedia not News 223.136.218.98 (talk) 01:55, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, the Swearingen Metroliner might've not had passengers, but it is a passenger airliner. A mid-air collision where everybody survived is a rare occurence, and there's a fair amount of coverage on it.Gorden 2211 (talk) 06:05, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep an usual event (mid-air collision) involving an airliner is worth an article. MilborneOne (talk) 11:55, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Deleted WP:NOTNEWS, not all airliners famous, these two jets were small, and all occupants survived also not a rare thing.111.71.213.252 (talk) 03:17, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
