2024 TCAS incident over Somalia

WP:NOTNEWS, fails WP:GNG, WP:LASTING and while an essay, does fail WP:AIRCRASH. The only articles talking about the incident are aviation websites with basically no mainstream news sites talking about the incident. I seriously have doubts whether this incident will result in any changes as it happened over Somaliland. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:21, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Not the first recent WP:NOTNEWS contribution from this editor, if we had a page on every averted aviation incident, we'd be taking over Bitcoin's servers for space. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. A trivial incident, of no great significance, and not having received significant coverage. An aircraft was directed onto a flight path fairly close to that of another aircraft, so both pilots were given an advisory notification as a precaution. The flight paths did not bring the aircraft close enough to cause any significant risk, or to necessitate any change of course, and they passed one another safely. That's it. The first reference is a blog post, and the others don't look much more significant. JBW (talk) 15:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Routine news event with no significant and sustained coverage. There are many near misses like this involving aircraft, and pilots are warned to reroute once a potential collision might be possible. HarukaAmaranth  春香 08:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Aviationwikiflight as you correctly point out, WP:AIRCRASH is an essay and failing or passing it has absolutely no relevance in AfD's so please do not use it. There is also no requirements that the coverage comes from mainstream news sites, a significant coverage can come from a subject specific site (sport related news from a sport website for instance). That said, while I'm not putting any judgement on the publications of the sources aside from the blog (Aviation Week Network and Flightradar24 might be reliable), this seems to have been a minor incident with the coverage in the article coming from a period of a few days with no indications of continued coverage and thus little hope of it having WP:LASTING effects or having the WP:SUSTAINED coverage to pass WP:GNG. So Delete unless someone can point to more sustained significant coverage of the incident. Alvaldi (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Very much with JBW's argument above. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
