Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Famous helicopter accidents

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was Keep and Move to List of people who died in helicopter accidents.

This is to be consistent with similar lists such as List of people who died in road accidents. Deathphoenix 15:34, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Famous helicopter accidents
WP is not a repository of lists, and this list will never be comprehensive nor complete, and "famous" is automatically in danger of being POV. Master Thief Garrett 07:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, because the content at the moment is only a list of four people who have died in helicopter accidents. However, I think a List of helicopter disasters is a valid topic, in the same vein as List of rail disasters, and when we do get an article on that this title should be a redirect.

 * Move to List of celebrities killed in helicopter accidents per Tony Sidaway. The current title is somewhat misleading, since I would expect a list of articles about helicopter disasters and not a list about people who died in them. Sjakkalle 06:39, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, POV - criteria for inclusion not defined, unmaintainable list. Megan1967 07:33, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Inherently POV, no include/exclude criterion. Geogre 11:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete but article shows potential of list of helicopter disasters as per Sjakkalle. Capitalistroadster 12:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to be a perfectly good stub, and we've already got some rather useful lists on other aviation accidents. I can't see the point of deleting--to do so would only cause us to lose information that would end up being entered at a later date. No objection to moving it to List of helicopter disasters or (preferably) List of celebrities killed in helicopter accidents. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:37, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * 'Keep, seems like a worthwhile list. RickK 21:33, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the below, and with famous motorcycle accidents, famous boat accidents and similar. Radiant_* 11:05, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep could be expanded. There are many notable helicopter deaths... Grue 19:57, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
