United States Air Force Flight W05

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No evidence of notability (a blog and a non-independent source) for this incident, which ended well and seems to have had no major consequences otherwise. A redirect to List of Mayday episodes may be the best solution. Fram (talk) 08:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Military, Aviation, Saudi Arabia,  and United States of America. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:58, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. The television show should count as a reliable source. The article from Grissom indicates that people were still paying attention to the incident 25 years later. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 10:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable military accident without much lasting impact. The Grissom article is functionally a primary source. SportingFlyer  T · C  12:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a unnotable incident. Even if it was a civilian flight, it wouldn't rate an article. No deaths, no changes in policy, nothing. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:43, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge to List of Mayday episodes and 434th Air Refueling Wing - I believe this will forever be a stub Mr Vili   talk  13:46, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not what you believe, its what reliable content is available ;). And there is much more than what is now in the article. 82.174.61.58 (talk) 15:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: Other than the TV show, the incident has largely been ignored by media. I can find a report on the accident from the military, which is PRIMARY. Same for the air force website used in the article now. Not enough sourcing we can use for an article. Oaktree b (talk) 15:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker - The fact that only one major source has talked about the accident in the many years since it should show that it is not notable enough for an article. A redirect to this or the Mayday episodes article would be good. RandomInfinity17 (talk - contributions) 23:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 434th Air Refueling Wing, the unit concerned. Add all relevant data from the Grissom air force story; and the Accident ID ref; and also if people want, yes the TV show, to both 434th ARW and Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:52, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as the incident had a lasting effect. 82.174.61.58 (talk) 15:27, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: I would normally go for a Redirect to Boeing_KC-135_Stratotanker, where the incident is already mentioned (with a source). But the typo in the page name - lowercase 'o' instead of the digit zero in W05 - makes this an unlikely search term. Owen&times; &#9742;  23:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete: per nom. No objections to redirect(s) mentioned above, though. LizardJr8 (talk) 23:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
