Wirraway accidents

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list, while nicely compiled, is a listing of utterly non-notable accidents of a military tranining aircraft. Military training aircraft tend to crash a lot for reasons that should be obvious; none of the crashes come close to meeting notability standards. WP:AIRCRASH would be the revelant essay, which these fail utterly; they also fail WP:NOT - while the list isn't indiscriminate (in fact, quite the opposite) the list itself is arguably "indiscriminate information", and it's also likely failing WP:NOTMEMORIAL.

Delete Wikipedia is not a collection of source documents - WP:NPS. This article seems to be a rewriting of the data contained in a single document. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:43, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I believe it does meet WP:AIRCRASH "The accident(s) resulted in changes to procedures". Merge with CAC Wirraway. Ray-Rays (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In what way did they result in changes to procedures? The article makes no claim of such for any of the accidents. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless additional sources can be found. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:38, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral - It seems that the content of that page may have been taken from [1] which has a more comprehension listing of the training accidents and deaths. I did find a memorial for one of those training accidents: [2]. I can only add that I did start the article Maroochy air crash which was an incident involving lost of civilian life, which occurred after the War. I do know that the plane was then removed by the RAAF from aerial shark patrols and that procedures for flights over beaches were changed (I was told this at a pre-memorial), but as this accident is outside of the list of those training accidents, it has no impact on what decision should be made.

Delete - this is too much detail for a Wikipedia article, and is just a re-write of information from a sincle source.Derek B 17:47, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Delete - definitely not notable. 1exec1 (talk) 18:39, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
