Per WP:GNG, barely notabile incident, nearly zero sources can be found about it, even in german. SignorPignolini 20:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am shocked that this even got through, run of the mill incident with zero continued coverage. Lolzer3k 18:36, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Wiesmoor#History – Coverage of the event does exist, such as [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (and mentioned in a book [8]) but most of them are either from 1989 or are passing mentions, with additionally, the final report also available [9]. This german forum from 2005-2006 has uncovered some very good coverage of the event [10], however I've been unable to find the said sources online. With that being said, there isn't much sustained coverage post-1989 nor in-depth coverage of the event that would make it warrant a stand-alone article, whilst a merge could probably provide a slightly more historical context of the event.

Merge per Aviationwikiflight as a reasonable alternative to deletion. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 04:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
