While sad, and the subject of routine news reporting, this is not an event likely to have ongoing significance or receive sustained coverage. Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Hug^syrup 13:27, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no indication of any lasting significance to this accident, just another weather-related crash, one of hundreds for this aircraft type. - Ahunt (talk) 14:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or at least wait and see - the incident made international news, and while not all King Air crashes with fatalities will necessarily be notable, the international scope of this accident (a New Zealand couple perished) may lead to this incident receiving ongoing coverage. It already passes WP:GNG, just need to wait and see if it's lasting. SportingFlyer T·C 04:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment What's the difference between this crash and a medevac crash here[1] which doesn't have an article?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:24, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - This crash received international news and is still continuing to receive coverage [2] while yours was a local general aviation crash of a Piper which barely scrapes by WP:GNG. WP:OSE. SportingFlyer T·C 18:32, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - See also [3], which is from 12 hours ago. SportingFlyer T·C 19:00, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment: Still covered by WP:NOTNEWSPAPER
        I'm really not so sure. Everyone's claiming this is routine, but coverage is continuing especially in local media, and it's currently the 8th deadliest crash of 2019 worldwide and had more fatalities than the Essendon crash. I'm just not sure why people are coming to the conclusion this is "common" or why we would be in a rush to delete it. SportingFlyer T·C 05:12, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Not significant relative to other light aircraft crashes, no otherwise-notable persons involved. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:23, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:AIRCRASH: light aircraft, no notable death, no procedure change.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 06:34, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not tragic, but non-notable run of the mill everyday tragedy--Petebutt (talk) 11:50, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This type of accident is quite common and non notable. The chance of this crash changing any procedures is very small. - Samf4u (talk) 16:32, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nine people dying in a medevac aircraft crash (themselves pretty rare) seems to me to be pretty notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:13, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I flew as a medevac pilot for many years and actually medevac flights are high risk and accidents on them are very common, even WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Would you think a road ambulance accident would be worthy of an article? Those happen on a daily basis in North America. - Ahunt (talk) 16:46, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - With nine deaths? Really? I don't think so. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:53, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Please keep in mind WP:RAPID. The crash just happened and there is international coverage of the event. There is still news coming out on fatalities and cause. However, these incidents are unfortunately common and so far, no notability has been established with this particular crash. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmericanAir88 (talk • contribs)
