Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010 Israeli Air Force Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion crash
per . There often seems to be a race or competition to create an article about a current event; I wish there was a way to stop people from creating articles as soon as something takes place and wait a few days; I am sure that fewer articles would be created. Anyhow, will we look back on this in a couple of months' time and think of this as a notable event: I doubt it. Military aviation operations are intrinsically more hazardous than civilian; is the crash of a military aircraft on a training exercise notable: No. Is the crash of a military aircraft rare: No. Is the number and nationality of people killed notable: No. Is there anything unusual about "questions about an aircraft type's reliability and safety" being raised following a crash: No. While I agree that WP tends to be USA-centric in some areas, Wikipedia:Other stuff exists applies; and to rebut the claim, an article about a US Navy aircraft crash that killed three was deleted just a few days ago (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2007 USS Harry S. Truman E-2C crash). If other "obscure" air crashes have articles, that may be because they haven't been noticed yet or may be because of failure to apply policy consistently; when you come across them feel free to PROD them or take them to AfD
