Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qantas Flight 72
I don't think #NEWS applies.  We have an accident in which up to 74 people have been injured, up to 44 of those needing a hospital visit, with 14 of those needing airlifting to a major hospital at the flight's intended destination.  This is a highly abnormal event in the context of the Airbus A330, in the context of Qantas and in the context of Australian civil aviation.  Just because there is media hype around doesn't automatically mean the underlying accident isn't notable, not does it automatically mean it satisfies #NEWS.  Regardless of cause, this is clearly an event of enduring notability in at least three contexts.  In regards to your other comment, I haven't queried any editor other than yourself and it was a genuine question. Not that I see what the issue is - this is a discussion, not a vote and there's nothing wrong with querying the arguments.  The queries that have been made are trying to encourage the fleshing out of arguments and reasonings, which is part of a healthy AfD process
