Well-written article, but almost all primary sourcing. The one independent source appears to be about the same incident, but lists a different flight #KJ-7611, not sure if that is a typo, or an alternate flight #. Regardless, there is not enough in-depth coverage to show that it passes WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 14:45, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete – Agree that the article is well written but the subject matter is hardly notable: a disaster that never happened, albeit narrowly, and without apparently lasting consequences. The safety recommendations were not even adopted, and there seem to be no sources subsequently referring to the event in relation to regulatory changes, lasting impact etc. --Deeday-UK (talk) 08:30, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Question @Onel5969: - which are the primary sources used in the article? Mjroots (talk) 16:17, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Mjroots, all but the one trade magazine piece. Onel5969 TT me 16:27, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Onel5969: I suggest you have a re-read of WP:PRIMARY. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch are independent of any airline or regulatory authority (i.e. the CAA). The European Aviation Safety Agency are also independent of any airline. The Aviation Herald website, whilst a WP:SPS, has a reputation for accuracy, fact checking and editorial oversight, and is also independent of any airline. It is a very WP:RS.

- Mjroots, The article is about an accident, not an airline. Those investigative agencies are primary for accident/incidents. Never said AH was not an RS. Onel5969 TT me 16:40, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Scary, but no injuries or damage. No lasting coverage of this, just a safety inquiry.--Chuka Chieftalk 14:25, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Comment We're approaching the end of the latest 7-day extension of this AFD and while I reviewed the original nomination and did not find a reason to oppose this deletion nomination, I have just become aware of the recent edits by Whoop whoop pull up and would like to request a simple 24-hour extension to review the subject of the article. Pretty please.RecycledPixels (talk) 08:38, 17 August 2021 (UTC)- Delete. Fails WP:GNG. An interesting read but the event does not appear to have been reported widely enough to satisfy the multiple reliable sources threshold, and I looked hard. The Sécurité Aérienne source recently added appears to be an individual's blog, and does not meet WP:RS. RecycledPixels (talk) 20:48, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
