CH-46 shootdown in Iraq (February 2007)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)


 * 1) This shoot down is in no way notable to the Iraq conflict, in terms of death toll or anything else.
 * 2) Articles are generally not created for military aircraft crashes (in conflicts) unless they are part of a battle or significant (see Khankala Mi-26 crash).
 * 3) There are many such crashes. PBP 05:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Contains no more information than List of Coalition aircraft losses in Iraq. Dbromage  [Talk]  05:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete. I disagree with the nom that it is not notable to the Iraq War, but agree per Dbromage that the information is fully represented in List of Coalition aircraft losses in Iraq.  Pointless article as it stands. --Trippz 09:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it can be substantively expanded, as per Trippz. Megapixie 12:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - expand if needed. Onnaghar tl 12:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Buckshot06 14:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete This is just one of a gazillion fatal events related to the war in Iraq, maybe in a timeline history of the War or the event of the War in the current year it can be mentionned but not in an individual article--JForget 01:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete per WP:NOT#NEWS - I fail to see any historic notability Corpx 01:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete because already in List of Coalition aircraft losses in Iraq -- TheFE ARgod (Ч) 12:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete There's far too many of these for every one to be notable. Sometimes, someone important will be on board, there will be large loss of life, etc, but this isn't such a case. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Sad but just another of thousands of combat losses over the years. MilborneOne 12:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Indeed tragic, but combat losses in a war are expected, and therefore for an incident to carry encyclopedic notability (for any newbies who might read this, such notability is related only to the inclusion in the encyclopedia, and does not reflect on the value or importance of the lives lost), there needs to be something that sets this loss apart from the "norm". The article does not point out any such significant factors. The only thing I can see about this one that even landed it here was the fact that imagery exists of the attack, however the mere fact that someone caught the incident on pixels does not render it notable. That being said, and since my brother frequently rides on CH-47s in Iraq, special condolences go out to the families of those killed.  AK Radecki Speaketh  13:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
