Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Gabriola Island crash
Per coffee, I believe this AfD also to be premature. The article has significant coverage from enough |reliable sources to confer |notability. While it ''is'' true that plane crashes are common and do get local coverage, it is not very often that they get coverage from across the nation (Toronto etc) and internationally...on the other side of the continent - some 4900km away - in ''The New York Times'' within 24 hours, nonetheless. The NYT doesn't normally write about small plane crashes in another country. Combine this with the fact that The Canadian Press (Canada's version of the Associated Press) started covering this within 4 hours, it reinforces my initial assessment that the notability requirements were met. I will note, to the benefit of WilliamJE, that ''The New York Times'' had not yet published its article on this at the time of nomination
