The result was keep. Not exactly WP:SNOW but I doubt that someone's going to pop in in the next three hours with a good argument for deletion (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:33, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is an appropriate list with a non-trivial intersection of topics, and it can easily be sourced. It also presents more info than a category can. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 03:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs). This does have alot more info than a category can provide. However, can I suggest renaming it to List of notable aviation fatalities? The current title suggests there is more to the list than there actually is. ZabMilenko 09:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd say no as the list already applies that. For example, List of pigs could have millions of entries, but only the notable ones are listed. Tavix |  Talk  21:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• A rename is in order, though. By definition a fatal event in aviation is not an incident. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:54, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Just for the benefit of newer editors, the supporting guideline (for my !vote, TenPoundHammer's, and ZabMilenko's) is WP:CLN — which, if the nominator had read WP:BEFORE more thoroughly, he would have found.—S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 16:44, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This list does way more than a category, which is the only reason the nominator is suggesting deletion. Tavix |  Talk  21:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: this is why I say keep, the nominator have not stated a reason why this list is being nominated, therefore I assume that this was nominated in a bad faith. If more details can be added in (such as what aircraft they travelled in like on the air display section), I assume that it will be more than a indiscriminate list.

• Keep Highly useful and informative stats list. Why would anyone want to get it deleted anyway. Kasaalan (talk) 07:39, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Useful article, with far more detail than in a category list.218.14.48.117 (talk) 06:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per TenPoundHammer, and the last AfD. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:54, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
