The result was merge‎ to List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2020–present). This incident is already listed on the target article but the listing is unsourced and this article can supply references. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:22, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One small incident in a war; nothing to make it notable at all. (The article was proposed for deletion (WP:PROD) and the creator of the article contested the proposal.) JBW (talk) 22:10, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (without prejudice) into List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2020–present). Yet another case of bizarre fragmentation! The topic may be notable or not. The answer DOES NOT MATTER as, regardless of the answer, this is an improper WP:SPINOFF from its parent that has just one sentence on the accident and needs all three sentences and sources. Thank you, JBW, for nominating! gidonb (talk) 20:46, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Military occurrences are far more common than civilian ones, so the threshold for inclusion is higher. This one in particular seems to be a relatively minor mishap without fatalities: an example of WP:RUNOFTHEMILL in military operations. -- Deeday-UK (talk) 18:39, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deeday-UK! How do you feel about going from 1 to 3 sentences on the accident here plus adding missing sources through a merge? The article would still disappear, as you suggest, while adding quality elsewhere. gidonb (talk) 23:35, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – not very notable in a war. Grahaml35 (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Grahaml35! Did you also consider WP:ATDs? gidonb (talk) 13:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It has already been added to List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2020–present) and I believe the information on that article is sufficient. Therefore, I do not believe a WP:ATD is necessary. Grahaml35 (talk) 13:49, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
