Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethiopian Airlines ET702 hijacking
Ethiopian Airlines accidents and incidents. The |guidelines for notability of events state that an event is more likely to be notable if it has a lasting effect, have a wide geographic scope or impact and receive coverage beyond an immediate news cycle. The guidelines specifically state that an article can be both serious and widely, but that this is not in itself a reason for notability. In this case, the hijacking has been widely reported in the current news cycle, but follow-on reporting is relatively minimal and no lasting effect (in the sense of analysis or follow on discussion/action) is (as yet) apparent. The guidelines |encourage patience before creating an article and, in this case, I believe that is wise counsel. Until the topic clearly becomes notable a redirect to the broader article about incidents at the airline seems appropriate
