 Re: , but how many were notable enough to rate an AFP news article about their missed flight? (I'm saying as someone that isn't a football fan...) Thanks.    
 :As I said, there are dozens of people who could have made it onto that aircraft.  It's not encyclopedic.  Thanks.     
 :: But where are the references talking about those other hypothetical dozens of people? In this case, there's a clear, reliable reference that these people were planning on catching the flight and changed at the last minute, so it makes sense to note it in the article. Thanks,    
 :::Sure, if you like trivia being added, that's fine, but I don't.  We should focus on the event and the things that actually happened.  Perhaps you cold add a note to the team's article saying how lucky they were, but right now it's just niff-naff to add that kind of cruft to a crash article.     
 ::::P.S.  Please continue this at the article talk page, I have made my position clear, you may wish to solicit other opinions in your quest.     
 :::: It seems notable from what I can see, particularly since AFP covered it. Maybe it will be trivia in the long run, though. But it is sufficiently verifiable to justify its inclusion in the article. Thanks,
