Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/2010 Austin plane crash

Premature AFD closure
The AFD was inappropriately closed without a valid reason. Since I did not have an opportunity to post my Keep argument on the AFD page, I will do so here.
 * KeepWP:NOTNEWS does not require deletion of all stories which are in the news, only the more routine ones. Crashing a plane into a federal facility after releasing a manifesto is far from routine, and has been covered by thousands of news media worldwide. Some news commentators have called it an act of terrorism, and these have generally been found notable when they occur outside the actual war zones/occupied countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. Similar anti-government attacks and even accidental crashes of small planes into buildings have proven to be part of the "enduring historical record" and had articles which were kept or for which there was no consensus to delete in previous deletion debates.

 * I now believe that this would have been a valid reason. There is no way that the article will be deleted.   TheWeak Willed   (T * G) 15:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
