WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS. not notable and wikipedia is not a newspaper!! Petebutt (talk) 15:13, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Aviation incidents are generally considered notable and this article passes the general notability guideline because it includes reliable secondary sources such as the guardian and the Bangkok post. I fail to see how WP:NOTNEWS applies here as this article is about an incident that occurred over a year ago and there is next to no original research in the article. A flight incident where 14 people where injured is easily notable to be kept in wikipedia. Winner 42  Talk to me!  16:54, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete not really notable for a stand alone article with no injuries. MilborneOne (talk) 19:28, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not seeing how this meets WP:AIRCRASH. The coverage at the moment appears to be nothing but routine and a case of recentism, and to assume that there might future notability would be crystal balling. -- Kinu  t/c 20:59, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable incident. Runway overruns happen all the time BTW this was at AFD once before....William 15:49, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak delete as not warranting its own article per above the above comments by others, but I do think that a couple of additional details (mentioned in the cited article from The Guardian ) may possibly be worthy of including in the entry for this incident at Thai Airways: the fact that it followed another well-reported Thai Airlines incident by just a couple of weeks, and that the airline received attention/notoriety for covering up the plane's logo after the accident. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:00, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
