Comment Um, why is it being nominated? A synopsis perhaps?--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 04:12, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:AIRCRASH: "The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft". Not meeting WP:AIRCRASH was the original motivation for the deletion nomination. Jarkeld (talk) 04:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment' - this AfD should be allowed to run the full seven days. Mjroots (talk)
Keep - Per discussion on the talk page, this incident meets WP:AIRCRASH due to the large number of unreskinned 737-200s withdrawn from service by Southwest Airlines. Worldwide coverage means it meets the WP:GNG. Mjroots (talk) 05:12, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Dear editors. What would Wikipedia be like if we make it a collection of every single aeronautic event that takes place in the sky? Yes sure, it is true that this aircraft suffered some damage for reasons that are yet to be determined. It is true the plane was subject of coverage but mostly 24 hours a day news channel that are eager to fill every minute with information. But the reality is that this event is likely to go to the annals of history as one of those moments that will be forgotten in few months (if not weeks). In addition, we have to analyze how subjective the concept of serious damage we are talking about here. In my opinion, the damage was not serious and experts have downplayed the damage with statements such as -Friday's accident gives no cause for concern about the structural integrity of airplanes in their early years of service, say some air safety experts.- as sourced from Christian Monitor website here. So I conclude that as scary I am sure this flight must have been for the passengers we need to draw a line over what stand alone articles do give our beloved Wikipedia more quality and which one will likely become an archive of information relevant for the next couple of weeks. Sincerely yours --Camilo Sanchez (talk) 05:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As an aircraft mechanic and former field engineer and accident investigator for an aircraft manufacturer, and having had responsibility for recommending AD action to the FAA on behalf of that manufacturer, I feel qualified to say that a 3-6 ft hole in a pressurized cabin would be considered a serious hull breach if not hull loss on further inspection and economic determination, and definitely "serious damage to the aircraft." It's time to end the discussion and just keep the article on the basis that it meets WP:AIRCRASH. Dgriffith161 (talk) 05:19, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
