Deletion Could qualify for WP:RAPID but per what i left on one of the two IP accounts that have reverted my notability tag edits: "The accident being concerned in this article is a low fatality accident involving an african aircraft. as people such as Aviationwikiflight have stated previously, due to factors such as bad maintenance, aging aircraft and low amounts of news coverage low fatality aircraft accidents in Africa are generally not notable, see WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, WP:NOTNEWS and the above mentioned WP:NOTABILITY tag for events for future guidance to understanding the notability guidelines for events."

- Delete, I agree it doesn't really have notability. Lucthedog2 (talk) 19:51, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, Agreed. The only possible reason this may have been included in my eyes is that the aircraft was a DHC-5, but private jets crash every couple of months with death tolls over 5 and are not considered for inclusion. Relton66 (talk) 23:42, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, Wikipedia is not a repository for news stories. Not the subject of significant, sustained, secondary coverage. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 03:37, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, per nominator. 125.227.26.172 (talk) 10:26, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, run-of-the-mill accident, not notable per WP:EVENTCRIT#4, and no likelihood of WP:LASTING effects or WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE beyond the initial news cycle. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:03, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
