 * Delete. The general WP:CONSENSUS for the standard for an aviation accident to be included, as codified in the essay WP:AIRCRASH, is that an accident needs to be a scheduled service, involve a Wikinotable person, or result in a signficant change in design, operations, or procedures. None of these are met here; this is a light helicopter on a charter service, that involved a few tourists, and is likely to be pilot error (and even if not it's WP:TOOSOON for any changes to be made). There's a quick spurt of news but that's to be expected - WP:PERSISTENCE is unlikely for what is a tragic but ultimately run-of-the-mill light helicopter accident. Wikipedia is not a news service and not a memorial; unless this gets blown into some big deal involving the Russian police, there's nothing here even to be worthy of mention in the type article. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:46, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ...in fact Speedy Delete G12 as WP:COPYVIO - a duplication detector check shows rampant close paraphrasing from all of the article's sources. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I concur completely with Bushranger, There is absolutely no basis for notability, let alone meeting the guidelines in WP:AIRCRASH.--Petebutt (talk) 19:08, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Further to this, as bushranger has stated there is a copyvio problem, even to the extent of repeating the errors in the source.--Petebutt (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
