The result was delete. I'm not creating the redirect since it's not clear to me from the discussion below that there is an agreed-upon target or that there is a desire to even keep the material, but that should not be construed as a reason not to create the redirect.

Southwest Airlines Flight 8701

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Routine engine failure and emergency landing (fairly common events in aviation). No casualties, no damage (other than the failed engine). Got a bit of news coverage due to the ongoing Boeing 737 MAX groundings (and related 737 crashes), even though technically it seems this is not actually related. Not independently notable and there is no reasonable reason to think this will have any continued coverage. Icewhiz (talk) 08:16, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:N(E), engine failure without casualties or damage to aircraft is unlikely to have lasting significance. Will probably have to wait to see if WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE exists but this is unlikely especially since there is reportedly no link to the computer system issue. ~ KN2731 {t · c} 11:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTNEWS. Might have a place as footnote in Boeing 737 MAX groundings, to show how jumpy people are over those planes, but not as an independent article. - GretLomborg (talk) 16:05, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination and per the reasons given in my own WP:PROD of the article (which was later removed). -- HunterM267  talk 16:29, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Firslty, engine failures are common, yes this is a 737 MAX, but as A) the aircraft landed safely, B) no casualties, and C) incident to common. The page should be deleted, but should be noted in the incidents sub section on the 737 MAX page. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 14:08, 28 March 2019 (UTC) I’ll keep a copy of this incident in my sandbox in case anything new pops up. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 20:53, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: Procedural note This was identified in the AFD category for "organizations", rather than for "places and transportation" until this edit.  It is certainly not about an organization.  I am not going to assert that miss-listing it was an attempt to end-run around transportation-focused AFD editors, who will likely not have seen this.  But to avoid the appearance of that, I think this should be relisted and held over until the usual AFD period (7 days?) is met, starting from now. --Doncram (talk) 04:55, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * To be precise the AFDC is "organization, corporation, or product". Then 737 MAX is a product (under some scrutiny). I did place this in the aviation delsort list (and it was added to the transport delsort subsequently). If you think AFDC "places and transportation" is a better fit, I am not opposed to a change.Icewhiz (talk) 06:18, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect (Strong against delete): I think this article could be redirected to Southwest Airlines to save space for the Wikipedia database. —Wei4Green &#124; 唯绿远大 (talk) 23:09, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Absolutely delete based on not be somethign sustainable or lasting. We shouldn't have exhaustive lists for all incidents, let along pages for each.--CNMall41 (talk) 04:47, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable event. It was only an engine failure and the plane was able to land safely. --Hiwilms (talk) 06:16, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
