 * Delete fails WP:AIRCRASH (no fatalities; aircraft wasn't written off; no subsequent precedural changes). --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 22:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - While sometimes helpful, the non-guideline WP:AIRCRASH is not the end-all decider of articles simply due to an article topic relating to aviation accidents. WP:NOTABLITY and its WP:GNG, which this topic easily passes, supersedes the lesser (and non) guidelines.  In this case, the accident's legacy has long outlived its flash in the news as it's coverage has continued for years afterwords in multiple books and articles  and in this book's case, very in-depth significant coverage, more so than I've seen of most aviation accidents.  Also the accident instigated the FAA to change approach procedure to Bradely International Airport.  Also the subject of the notable play Charlie Victor Romeo.   Slapping on AfDs on aviation accident articles simply due to the nuance of no-deaths is not helpful and, as clearly in this case, completely ignores the broader spectrum of WP's policies and guidelines. --Oakshade (talk) 00:30, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep per Oakshade. How may aviation accidents get a play written about them? Mjroots (talk) 16:19, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
