Rivet Amber crash

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable military accident. Nothing in the article shows any signs of notability, fatal military accidents are far more common than similar civil aircraft and this didnt kill anybody notable or hit anything notable. Contested PROD. MilborneOne (talk) 19:34, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:AIRCRASH for military accidents. Nobody notable on board....William 21:27, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Nineteen deaths and no trace of the aircraft was ever found. This strikes me as notable enough. WP:AIRCRASH is of course no more than an essay with which many of us do not agree. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep or Redirect and Merge details to List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (1960-1974); there is a stub for this incident there already which links to this page. While I'm not sure this deserves its own article, it does deserve more than the one-liner on the list at the moment. Also Comment: a strict interpretation of WP:AIRCRASH would suggest that Flight 19 is also not notable, which I would argue is ridiculous.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 03:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's because Flight 19 meets the WP:GNG. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Rivet Amber and make the article about the aircraft itself - a unique subtype - which includes the crash as part of the article, not just about the crash itself. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Information on the aircraft and its crash already exists in the main RC-135 article. I'd also be ok with a redirect to the main RC-135 article. Intothat darkness 17:45, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
