''Please elaborate - do you think this person is notable because they were lucky and didn't get on the plane, or do you think they are notorious because they tried to use political influence to gain a seat and failed. I would argue that: not every person who tried to get on this flight is instantly noteworthy, but if this "scandal" becomes notable enough (which seems unlikely to me) they may qualify that way.

 * Can you help to make this article more encyclopedic? I couldn't find his birth date. Please refer to http://www.lagazettedemontpellier.fr/actualite/Avion-disparu-:-un-couple-de-Montpellierains-miracule-681.html if you speak french for some information. Wisdomwiki (talk) 03:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The fact that you can't find his birthdate is telling in this notability discussion. The real issue though is that simply adding the birthdate won't fix the problem here. Simply not getting on the plane doesn't make these people notable. If anything it sounds to me like it was the wife who tried to use political connections to get on the flight. If some scandal erupts out of that then she may become notable - but per WP:CRYSTAL we cannot begin to speculate now.  7   talk   04:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
