Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International response to the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash
I am amazed by the number of  'arguments' which have been given for deletion; that it is 'predictable', 'boring' diplomacy is of no relevance to keeping or deleting this article. It has been said that this type of articles is unencyclopedic, inappropriate to Wikipedia but we have plenty of articles of this type so it must not be the case, the format of the article should probably be revised but it's not a matter for this AFD; the question is whether the existence of this article is justified. The incident is highly exceptional, rare in recent history are cases where a president and several persons important to the governing of a country died in an incident, this has major national and international consequences; and the reaction to such events is directly relevant and clearly an encyclopedic subject. The notability of the subject is evident and the sole policy which could apply is , but it has not been demonstrated that the policy prevented its existence. And it does not, it is clear that the underlying event is durably notable, and this article is an important part of the coverage of the event, it is not 'routine news reporting'. While this could be covered in the article on the event, the Wikipedia:Article size|article size guidelines suggest we split it in a separate article, so the existence of this article is justified and not prevented by any policy, and merge is not an option in this AFD for this reason too. Merging thus is a purely editorial matter in this case and should be discussed on the talk page
