Non-notable light aircraft accident. This was a light aircraft that departed and disappeared 26 days ago, presumably crashed into the water, with six people on board, all presumed dead by now. There were no notable people on board (ie people with a biography article already on Wikipedia) and there is no indication that this was anything other than just another routine, WP:RUNOFTHEMILL light aircraft accident, one of thousands of similar accidents that happen globally each year. There is no indication of any WP:LASTING effects, no likelihood of any fleet grounding, airworthiness directives, changes to ATC or SAR procedures, or anything else. Just to preemptively address editors who will claim that it is "rare or unusual" because the aircraft has not been found - this is also quite common. Globally tens of thousands of light aircraft have crashed over time and not yet been found. Some will be found in time, many never will, but this does not confer any sort of notability by itself. Fundamentally this article this is just a simple newspaper story and falls afoul of our Wikipedia policy WP:NOTNEWS, which says Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. Ahunt (talk) 01:20, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the plane has since been found with WP:ROUTINE coverage (also per nom). [1] - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:31, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: LOL, that is the wrong aircraft. That was a Cessna 340 that crashed 18 February 2023 and was also missing until yesterday! They seem to lose a lot of airplanes there. - Ahunt (talk) 01:49, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Coverage is primarily WP:ROUTINE, not really passing the threshold of SIGCOV. Even if it were, there are still WP:TOOSOON issues as well. Shawn Teller (talk) 04:54, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:ROUTINE. Not enough impact to warrant an article. SBKSPP (talk) 08:57, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
