Aeroflot Flight 846

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:GNG, completely non-notable incident, wasn't even an accident as engine failures are an operational hazard and therefore NEVER get articles unless notable for something else. The assertion that this incident was the sole cause of Aeroflots decision to scrap the Tu-154s is laughable. It may have hastened its demise, but was NOT a cause.

 * delete as a plainly non-notable accident. It shows up in the list of incidents for the aircraft type, but the surrounding incidents only emphasize how minor this one was. Mangoe (talk) 04:38, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per proposer, clear not really of note for a stand-alone article. MilborneOne (talk) 08:36, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Even if it was only a minor incident, I can well imagine that more than a few people are interested. TheImaCow (talk) 10:10, 10 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep (original author) I created this article based on the missing articles list (Aviation accident task force). It is notable for a Russian flag-carrier, which is Government-owned to retire a Russian-built aircraft. Mikecalls (talk) 12:12, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Even though the accident was pretty minor, it led to Aeroflot, and many other airlines completely removing the Tupolev Tu-154 from service. If the article is deleted, the information should at least be included in another article. Scorpions13256 (talk) 04:24, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into Tupolev Tu-154 under "Operational History." It's dubious even to categorize this event as an "incident" when it's unclear whether the airframe actually sustained significant damage; it seems that the individual aircraft was scrapped only because Aeroflot didn't want to pay to repair an older, inefficient type. If this event did in fact lead to the type's retirement, it's only notable in the context of the type's operational history. Carguychris (talk) 17:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: the article states: Subsequently, Aeroflot made a decision to withdraw all of the remaining Tu-154s from their fleet and replace them with Airbus A320 aircraft. This indicates long-term significance to me. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:49, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * My Russian is not good enough to go through the one source that might support a claim that this incident brought about the retirement decision, but the wording of the paragraph in question tends to support the view that Aeroflot was already looking to replace this model with newer aircraft, and that insofar as the incident contributed to the decision, it was only one of a host of such incidents.

 * no evidence that THIS incident was the sole cause of removing the Tu-154, which was due to retire in any caase!--Petebutt (talk) 15:10, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Minor aviation "accident" without any fatalities. Sources don't seem to state this sole event was the cause of Aeroflot deciding to scrap the Tu-154s from its fleet. SD0001 (talk) 16:34, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
