Cargo plane crashes are very common and rarely notable. Wikipedia is not a newspaper also applies. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:20, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

• Comment - Isn't this really a situation where we should wait and see? The crash happened yesterday. Per WP:RAPID, "As there is no deadline, it is recommended to delay the nomination for a few days to avoid the deletion debate dealing with a moving target and to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge". If this results in changes in e.g., Sudanese law then we may be in a position to better judge just how WP:LASTING this turns out to be. FOARP (talk) 10:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Keep for now. Impossible to determine whether an event will have WP:SUSTAINED coverage when it happened yesterday. Editors would be more inclined to work on it too if it wasn't threatened with deletion so quickly. NemesisAT (talk) 10:36, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

• Comment There is no relevant notability guideline for aircrashes as a stand alone article, WP:AIRCRASH suggests using WP:GNG and WP:NOTNEWS. I'm not convinced this is a notable incident but there are many similar articles on aircrashes on wikipedia. I don't think this is an easy one to call either way, it has received significant coverage in the specialised aviation press but not in maintstream media. WCM_email 10:46, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Keep for now. Agree with NemesisAT. It's too rush to say delete.Tupolev154Crash (talk) 19:12, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
• Draftify - if it's WP:TOOSOON to say whether or not there will be sustained coverage, then it's also TOOSOON to retain in mainspace. Draftify while we see if coverage emerges. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:37, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

• Keep The An-26 aircraft enough huge, and similar type accidents already have some pages on Wikipedia. To be honest, I don't know why some people like delete other people's article so quickly? I remember before 2020, there's not a lot admin delete other users article so quick? Why admin or some people like delete other people article so quickly recent times? I think the WIKI:NOT NEWS is an abuse reason for some guys
