Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Japan Airlines Flight 2
Clearly notable; by definition, meets the :  "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." It was not a "routine" accident or news event. It was not heroic like US Airways Flight 1549 where everyone also survived, but was an equally spectacular civil aviation accident involving a commercial airliner carrying over a hundred passengers and crew. It perhaps did not have "lasting" effects (which might also be true of Flight 1549), but any passenger airline accidental landing/crash not on an airport runway always receives extensive attention and becomes notable; this one is eminently suitable for standalone inclusion in the encyclopedia. ikiProject_Aviation/Aircraft_accidents_and_incidents, which seems to be a guideline for articles about airports, aircraft and airlines (not aviation accidents by themselves), is not relevant here. This is not an article about an airport, airline or aircraft; it is an article about a notable aviation accident
