Talk:Crash of N3381W

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've tagged this article for deletion. We can't have an article about every single light aircraft accident in the world, and this one doesn't stand out as being notable. Mexcellent 10:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

This article obviously doesn't meet the criteria for speedy deletion. If you don't think it's notable enough, you're going to have to nominate it for AfD. —Cleared as filed. 11:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification of speedy deletion reason

Peter Barris and his passengers are not notable. While tragic, the accident does not warrant an article. The reason given was "Unremarkable people or groups" despite the fact the article is about a plane crash. However, the article obviously centers on the pilot, Peter Barris, as his name is bolded in the article and there is a redirect on his name pointing to this article. Sorry if the initial reasoning wasn't clear. Mexcellent 12:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Because the article is about a plane crash, this isn't a candidate for speedy deletion. And even if the article was about Peter Barris, there is an assertion of notability in this article, and therefore it has to be nominated to AfD. The community might still decide that you're right and it's not notable, but that's what AfD is for. This simply doesn't meet the criteria for speedy deletion. —Cleared as filed. 12:35, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Tag removed now that I know there was something notable about the crash (not the pilot) but not detailed in the article itself. Mexcellent 12:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename?

Any objections if I move this to Crash of N3381W? The current name is kind of silly. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
