 * Delete General aviation fatal accidents are generally not notable. This is one of them.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 20:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - just one of tens of thousands of non-notable light plane accidents. We don't have articles on every car accident. - Ahunt (talk) 00:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per the above. In my opinion the crash and its aftermath are covered adequately in the Sonicblue Airways article and I actually boldly redirected an earlier iteration of the subject article to the airline article five years ago. Someone replaced the redirect with a new version of better quality a few months ago, but much of it is padding and unencyclopaedic info and some is just incorrect. The airline article has all of the salient information. YSSYguy (talk) 03:09, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect & Merge - I don't agree with the above comments that this is a light plane accident or a general aviation flight. Those terms apply to private flight; this was a commercial flight on which anyone could have been a passenger.  However, since the flight was the defining incident in the history of the airline, I agree this crash can be covered in Sonicblue Airways.  Since that article has only one paragraph on the crash, and this article is much longer and appears to be well referenced, I think additional information from this article should be merged into Sonicblue Airways.

 * Comment: Light aircraft are up to 12,500 lbs so, yes, this is a light aircraft. General aviation includes all flying other than military and airline, not just private flying, so, yes, this is GA. - Ahunt (talk) 17:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete not particularly notable as a stand-alone subject and is already covered in the airline article. MilborneOne (talk) 18:25, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
