The result was merge to Delivery drone. As the probably most acceptable variant of the outcome of not keeping this as a separate article.  Sandstein  17:52, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Let's fly wisely

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This event, originally described as a "history-making event" in which the first FAA-approved drone was used to make a delivery, appears more to be a research/demonstration event in the FAA's ongoing efforts to investigate the uses of drone technology. It was a single research demonstration event, not a "history-making breakthrough". As such, I don't believe it deserves its own stand-alone article. The event may merit mention in other articles on drones, such as delivery drone or Regulation of unmanned aerial vehicles, but it does not merit its own article.

 * Delete Per nominator, WP:1E. Possible inclusion on another related article, but not non-notable for standalone. Jppcap (talk) 14:32, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. WP:1E is for people notable for a single event, and doesn't apply to events. WP:EVENTCRIT, I think, should be the overriding guideline used here, and I believe this article meets those requirements. First, it is historically significant as the first of its kind, and it will have lasting significance, as the increase of drone usage continues to grow. Second, it has widespread coverage, even in its current incarnation, with articles from WaPo, NBC, USA Today, and Forbes. Third, it probably meets WP:GNG as well. A news search alone turned up significant coverage, both nationally and internationally. In addition to the sources already in the article, there were this, this from Fortune (which would make a great addition to the article since it goes into the current drone controversy), this from IBT, this, this, this, this from La Vanguardia, and this, from the French HuffPo.

 * Merge to Delivery drone - stand-alone article is not warranted, in spite of the flash-in-the-pan media buzz. Kraxler (talk) 17:52, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
