This is an incident and should be in Wikipedia. Sure, bird strikes do happen but most don’t cause an engine fire. Grffffff (talk) 15:07, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well obviously it wasn’t “notable” when I made it but news articles are popping up about it. Grffffff (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Routine aviation incident with no injuries. Bird strikes are not unusual. Johndavies837 (talk) 15:45, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per NOTNEWS. Airplanes suffer occasional bird strikes, sky is blue and water is wet. 💥Casualty ^{• Hop along. •} 16:34, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:NEVENT and WP:TOOSOON. Protoeus (talk) 17:02, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as the event is unlikely to have WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:38, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Perfect example of WP:NOTNEWS. Esolo5002 (talk) 21:19, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as TOOSOON, likely won’t generate sustained coverage. Coresly (talk) 21:26, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as routine incident with no injuries, deaths or hull loss. Alansohn (talk) 04:02, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect or merge to Newark Liberty International Airport#Accidents and incidents as WP:ATD; accident is mentioned there. EditorGirlAL07 (talk) 08:32, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Newark Liberty International Airport#Accidents and incidents per @EditorGirlAL07 seeing as it clearly isn't notable. Norbillian (talk) 22:28, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete run-of-the-mill incident. Indeed, it is so run-of-the-mill that it won't remain on the airport page for long, so not worth creating a future RfD candidate. Rosbif73 (talk) 07:50, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Think this is a clear case of WP:SNOW. 💥Casualty ^{• Hop along. •} 11:27, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  To be fair there is a new merge suggestion. Though I will note that someone has reverted the inclusion of this incident in that section. Esolo5002 (talk) 22:57, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. ChessEric 07:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Newark Liberty International Airport#Accidents and incidents as others have been saying, it is not notable nor important enough for an article. however this does not mean it cant be mentioned there.
