Comment: I find it honestly bizzare to see the article described as a ''biography of an aircraft''. And also in the various air-crash AfD's I've seen, no matter how acrimonious the debate got (and it gets pretty nasty sometimes!),  has never been brought up.  may be a "project-level essay", but it is still ''the'' standard used for the evaluation of aircraft-crash articles to determine if they should be deleted on grounds of notability. In addition, invoking  on an event that occured in 2003, and didn't have an article created until 2006, is, IMHO, picayune and stretching the definition of "not news" considerably (is something still "news" three years after the event? How about seven years?).  It should also be noted that the crash and its NTSB report are cited in books published in 2008 (http://books.google.com/books?id=kJSDJkgym-EC&pg=PA53&dq=%22Express+Flight+647%22&hl=en&ei=WAYBTfXSGcSclgesjanQCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Express%20Flight%20647%22&f=false, http://books.google.com/books?id=B3ng54W3sQ8C&pg=PA376&dq=%22Express+Flight+647%22&hl=en&ei=WAYBTfXSGcSclgesjanQCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CD8Q6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22Express%20Flight%20647%22&f=false) and 2009 (http://books.google.com/books?id=6S-CzE5Uw-sC&pg=PA160&dq=%22Express+Flight+647%22&hl=en&ei=WAYBTfXSGcSclgesjanQCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=%22Express%20Flight%20647%22&f=false) - thus demonstrating 'continued coverage

Comment: The accident may not have killed anybody, but the investigation reports by the NTSB and the follow-up reports in the aviation press indicate that it identified some serious safety issues with lasting implications for the aviation industry. Regarding the accident severity, there were injuries, and if there had been more than seven people on the plane (or if the people on the plane hadn't been trained pilots), there likely would have been fatalities. Remember that |Wikipedia is not a print encyclopedia -- this might not get an article in a print encyclopedia, but it is plenty significant enough in the world of aviation to merit inclusion here
