Tragic but not notable helicopter accident not too dissimilar to 2017 Snowdonia helicopter crash which was just recently deleted. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:13, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Seems to fail WP:NEVENTS. Doesn't seem all that impactful (regionally or globally) beyond the family, friends, and associates of those killed. Tragic, but not notable. bojo | talk 15:28, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per above and nomination.--Petebutt (talk) 07:24, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep.Note from article creator. Thanks for this valuable discussion about the article i have created. It will be a guideline for me for the future. But, before creating this article i nearly checked and read articles in -Category:Accidents and incidents involving helicopters- and List of accidents and incidents involving helicopters. If this article is not notable, then we should nearly delete half of the articles involving accidents involving helicopter because most of them local and with low fatalities. Please do not get this as an objection. Thanks for the time. Mingus79 (talk) 10:28, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It seems some specialized areas of Wikipedia commonly have more detailed article topics (like military history). I think it should be compared to other articles in the appropriate area - the category here (Aviation accidents in Turkey) has many similar articles. Since this article is similar to the other articles in its category, so I see no reason to single it out. Seraphim System (talk) 18:52, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG and current significant coverage. Time will tell if it is sustained. --NoGhost (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, J947(c) 22:33, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete sad to those involved but civil helicopter accidents are fairly common to not be noteworthy enough for a stand-alone article, just because it was in the news for a few days still doesnt make it notable. It did hit something notable so a mention at Endem TV Tower which already exists is all that is needed. MilborneOne (talk) 19:37, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep or merge into Endem TV Tower - Seems that the content has some value. Still, I wonder whether the article can sustain its longevity at its small size. Nevertheless, the investigation is ongoing, so either let's for a while or put it into the other page. George Ho (talk) 05:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Still Keep.Note from article creator. If we are deleting this article because civil aviation accidents are fairly common and to not be noteworthy enough for a stand-alone article, we also shall delete hunderds of articles listed in the similar categories. This article is no different from other articles listed in aviation categories. (Category:Accidents and incidents involving helicopters) Mingus79 (talk) 14:54, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete seems like everyday news reporting about an accident. No one famous died, nothing out of the ordinary, just news of the moment. The coverage in some sources is expected but not a measure of notability. ValarianB (talk) 12:09, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This may not have been notable if the 7 people died in a car crash, but, far from being a "fairly common" incident, this was the second most deadly aircrash to have taken place *worldwide* so far in 2017. Wikipedia is, among other things, an encyclopedia of aviation incidents, and this incident is encyclopedia worthy. NPalgan2 (talk) 14:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as WP:NOTNEWS. Read article; looked for sources; read comments here and NPalgan2's argument persuades me. 2nd place in the category since "Jan 1 of this year" is not persuasive. More to the point, nothing points to this having been other than an accident. Plus: no notable passengers, didn't crash into one of the minarets at the Blue Mosque or into a Russian ship.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:19, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
