Article fails

airworthiness directives, no changes in ATC procedures or other changes and no notable people killed (notable people are those with an existing biography article already on Wikipedia). Midair collisions between light aircraft are just not notable, just as most car accidents are not notable. Ahunt (talk) 00:05, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

Delete not notable. Unless there's a systematic breakdown, like ATC turned them into each other or the like, it's just an unfortunate but non-notable accident no different to the thousands of fatal car accidents every day. Canterbury Tail talk 00:58, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Run-of-the-mill collision between light aircraft. This kind of events happen on average four or five times a year in the US alone, if I remember correctly, which is tragic but not encyclopedically notable. --Deeday-UK (talk) 09:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Actually the ref I noted above tabulated 43 mid-air collisions in the US over a five year period, which is an average of 8.6 per year. So yes, a fairly common event. - Ahunt (talk) 13:18, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Run of the mill and nothing particularly outstanding compared to other events of this sort to warrant an article. KoA (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
