Nominating on behalf of PaPa PaPaRoony who wrote the following deletion rationale at WT:AFD:

The event does not have long-lasting effects whatsoever and has no notability. It is only covered by local media and there has been no lasting coverage from any international media. It was not a significant event, neither in civilian nor military aviation. As such I would like someone to nominate this page for deletion. Thank you so much.

Delete Commonplace crash of a military aircraft with no deaths. Cullen328 (talk) 07:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with nomination rationale. News spikes surrounding recent events don't necessarily equate to notability. This is why we have guidelines like WP:DELAY. Appears to be a non-prominent accident resulting in no deaths or significant changes to design or operations. Dfadden (talk) 20:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Functionally identical to an insanely expensive single-car accident. If this was one of five F-18s in the Spanish fighter fleet, maybe it could be argued as a more impactful/notable event, but this incident doesn't seem to have had wide implications outside of the parties immediately involved. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CycloneYoris, thank you for all your contributions to Wikipedia. This incident was covered by the New York Post and the associated press, other notable incidents like the 2024 Haneda Airport runway collision (which occurred January 2nd 2024) aren't really covered past January either. The pilot indicated that the aircraft suffered a malfunction, we really won't know what changes in operations, mechanical components, or procedures result from crashes after the investigation is released anyway. I suggest we wait until CIAIAC releases their accident report before we conclude if it should be deleted or not. Thomas Preuss Harrison (talk) 00:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thomas Preuss Harrison: I think I've made it clear that I opened this nomination on behalf of another editor (in this case: PaPa PaPaRoony), so your message should be directed to them, not me. CycloneYoris ^talk! 22:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
