Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 Virginia Beach F/A-18 crash
I don't care about sockpuppets, as long as the content itself is actually acceptable (it's the height of stupidity for us to run around deleting things that banned or blocked editors have created without considering the actual content). So, that taken care of, the only things to address are  and . NOTNEWS is quite subjective, and in my view this was a "significant current event" and therefore the standalone article is allowable within policy (opinions can vary of course, but I don't think that it's unreasonable to assume that an event that receives worldwide coverage meets the criteria). The point about "nobody killed" in AIRCRASH, and the section about military aircraft accidents, is intended to cover instances that are more "routine" than this. This acciden ''did'' involve "hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport" (although, substitute an entire residential neighborhood for airport) as well. In short, this was an unusual (read: notable) accident primarily due to the area which it impacted and because of the remarkable ''lack'' of loss of life involved.—&nbsp
