 * Weak Keep only if a flight number can be located for this, otherwise it doesn't meet WP:EVENT. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 15:37, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - a few fatalities and coverage. --BabbaQ (talk) 09:42, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - has media coverage and fatalities. This question wouldn't be raised if the incident happened in Europe.  Mtaylor848 (talk) 15:54, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete insignificant recent event with little or no impact, even if this happened in Europe, and I frankly don't understand the "Weak Keep" votes above with delete rationales. WP is not the news. --  Ohc  ¡digame! 04:29, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete — "Significant coverage" is an requirement for notability and in this case there was no such coverage. – Zntrip 01:44, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage? It's been covered in local and in international media.  It doesn't have to be front page.  There are hundred of pages on relatively small aviation incidents that have not made big news.  I think there are a few double standards here.  Mtaylor848 (talk) 11:45, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * There's some coverage because it's a recent event. Will there be any mention of it anywhere after, say, 3-5 years? I doubt. Conversely, accidents like recent Air Algérie Flight 5017 will be remembered in long term. Brandmeistertalk  15:58, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Simply being covered by media is insufficient. Obviously the only way we know about an event that happened in a remote region of the world is through news media. And your fears of a double standard are unfounded. There are not hundreds of articles on aviation accidents like this one. The truth of the matter is that accidents involving chartered cargo flights on small aircraft, like this one, are too frequent to be notable. – Zntrip 01:22, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Tragic but insignificant aviation accident. No longlasting effect or news coverage....William 12:02, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Please keep this article, it is in the same class as most of the other aviation incidents listed for 2014, do not let 3 large incidents keep the information from seeming important.196.35.246.194 (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep As per above comment. m@ππ¡✖.ChAnt0IK &#124; c@ntr!b5 06:38, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
