Utair Flight 595

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete as per WP:NOTNEWS. I would have redirected to a list article, but I do not believe it is notable enough for inclusion even on a list. Was contested because the article's creator does not think I know enough about aviation history (which may be true, although I was a fighter pilot), but that is irrelevant, since the deletion discussion is simply based on the merits, or lack thereof, of the notability of this particular accident, which resulted in zero deaths, and zero property damage (except for minor damage to the aircraft).

 * Keep per . If this was really a non-notable plane crash, why do some many people want to read about it?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 20:47, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Neutral I will remain neutral, as I have removed a CSD template on the article, unrelated to notability. I disagree with the assertion that the numbers shown above show a clear and marked interest in the topic, or that interest in a topic along confers notability. Notability on Wikipedia exists as a concept separate from topic interest. Acebulf (talk) 23:44, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - an airliner was written off. A lack of deaths ≠ a lack of notability. Sure, the article needs improvement, but that is not a reason to delete. Mjroots (talk) 18:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete, as WP:NOTNEWS, and does not meet WP:EVENT, no lasting major consequences, affect to a large geographical area, nor significant non-routine coverage over a period of time. Coolabahapple (talk) 22:15, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOTNEWS and this seemingly not having any impact either during or after the accident. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:NOTNEWS insignificant accident. Russia’s Federal Investigative Committee have not released their report, so it shall remain insignificant. -- Whiteguru (talk) 11:19, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:52, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment – I'm leaning on Delete but cannot make my mind up. There are various similar articles about airliners totalled on landing without fatalities, and they should in theory follow the same fate as this article, either way it goes. See Air Canada Flight 624, Ryanair Flight 4102 and probably others. --Deeday-UK (talk) 10:59, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , I agree on the other articles as well. Either we change the parameters of WP:NOTNEWS, or those others should also be discussed for deletion, since neither has had lasting impact.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:37, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I thought that Wind Jet Flight 243, another of such accidents, had its own article, but instead it's a redirect to Wind Jet, where the event is briefly covered, which I believe is the most sensible thing for all such cases. Therefore, I vote for:


 * Merge into Utair per my comment above, and keep this as redirect, since it's still a meaningful search term. --Deeday-UK (talk) 08:49, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - A couple of extra references from Flight International here and here, with this article, although not mentioning this accident specifically, suggests that Russian airlines, including Utair, may have a problem with landing mishaps.Nigel Ish (talk) 09:26, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
