Draft:Delta Airlines Flight 554
Wondering at what point an incident would be considered notable. There is obviously going to be coverage of most (if not all) incidents, but does this Project has a guide as to which ones are considered notable? CNMall41 (talk) 18:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- There is no guideline apart from WP:GNG, the essay WP:AIRCRASH is the best we have. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Linking to the draft: Draft:Delta Airlines Flight 554. This accident should probably appear in the MD-80 article but would probably be nominated for deletion (if it was accepted) because the aircraft was apparently repaired (no hull loss), there were no fatalities and no apparent change of procedures mandated, though there were plenty of NTSB recommended actions in the accident report. The accident was no fault of the aircraft type, same goes for hijackings, it could be argued that these events should not be included in aircraft type articles.

- It might survive given the aircraft was substantially damaged. The aircraft involved in Qantas Flight 1 was also repaired and returned to service, there were no fatalities and there were no broad changes in industry procedures as a result. The Qantas article is not without its issues, but it would likely survive an AfD given the enduring media attention it received in the years since. This accident is less well known and most of the sources used were published in the immediate aftermath. Since we cannot rely on WP:AIRCRASH as inclusion criteria for stand-alone articles, the standard to meet GNG would likely be the depth and longevity of coverage in secondary sources. I think there is a solid argument for inclusion of this incident in the MD-80 or LaGuardia accidents and incidents sections. But as a standalone article it's likely I wouldn't survive an AfD unless you could find some additional recent sources showing it's ongoing significance. Dfadden (talk) 07:31, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Drones in Rotorcraft
Should Unmanned aerial vehicle be mentioned in Rotorcraft classes section?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:39, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- No, because an unmanned (drone) rotorcraft is one of the classes listed there (and could, conceivably, be any of the four!) - not a seperate class. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:46, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- A UAV is any aircraft that does not carry a human pilot. A vast majority of unmanned rotorcraft fall into one of the four listed classes (usually a multirotor helicopter), and perhaps most importantly, not all UAVs are rotorcraft. - ZLEA T \C 05:47, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
