Delta Air Lines Flight 2284

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod. Landing incident which has only received short-term news coverage (WP:NOTNEWS). It is very fortunate that the fire did not lead to any casualties or hull loss, but mishaps like this are fairly common compared to the kind of incident which justify an article. The incident does not meet any of the criteria at WP:AIRCRASH for being mentioned in the corresponding airline/airport/aircraft article either. Also, the accuracy of the article seems off, the article mentions no tail number (with which the age could be determined exactly) but "it has been in service for approximately 5-10 years." is unlikely considering that the MD-80 went out of production in 1999.

 * Merge all relevant info into the articles on the aircraft type, airline and airport concerned, then redirect to Delta Airlines. Aircraft concerned was N941DL, damage is described as "substantial" so it is worth a mention. Mjroots (talk) 13:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge per Mjroots. Doesn't meet WP:AIRCRASH on its own, but a notable event in Delta's history. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 14:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as not notable, dont think it is notable for a mention anywhere else either.MilborneOne (talk) 19:03, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - brake overheat events are quite commonplace within aviation; just not notable, nor serious enough to warrant mentioning anywhere - let alone to have its own article. YSSYguy (talk) 00:37, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Brake overheats are common, agreed. Overheats that cause a fire and substantially damage the airframe are less common. Mjroots (talk) 19:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Quite so, but I don't think it can have been a serious fire if it was extinguished in a minute and everyone was evacuated over the wing centre-section (i.e. near the seat of the fire) via the ventral air stair via the LH rear emergency slide. The term "substantial damage" covers just about anything more than a simple dent. YSSYguy (talk) 02:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge I agree, the article should be deleted, but moved to the Delta Air Lines page. But then shouldn't we do the same thing to United Airlines Flight 497? 161.130.178.7 (talk) 02:31, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep This article injured people and it claimed substantial damage to the plane.Springyboy (talk) 08:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * But this wasn't a serious accident. I'm not saying that we should get rid of all this information on Wikipedia. I'm just saying that this incident doesn't need a page. 161.130.178.7 (talk) 17:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article doesn't have many problems now, as I have fixed it up as their is a tail number and the age of the plane is 22 years. There could've been a problem to the plane and it now meets WP:AIRCRASH on its own. Springyboy (talk) 03:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article may not have many problems now, but the main problem is that it is about an event that runs foul of NOTNEWS, does not in fact meet AIRCRASH and is too run-of-the-mill to bother with recording for posterity. YSSYguy (talk) 03:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
