Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary in nature since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

Delete per nom: a classic case of a run-of-the-mill light aircraft crash that resulted in brief news coverage but nothing further that would support notability. Rosbif73 (talk) 15:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge relevant information to Piper PA-23#Accidents and incidents. Avgeekamfot (talk) 21:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a merge is necessary since this accident isn't a notable aspect of the Piper PA-23 with accidents involving light aircrafts routinely happening. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Avgeekamfot, per WP:AV consensus, this crash is a better candidate for a merge with the airport page than the aircraft page. Most articles about light GA aircraft only list crashes that meet WP:GNG for a standalone article (this one falls short in my opinion), involved Wikinotable people (not the case), or had a significant effect on another Wikinotable topic, such as damaging a Wikinotable structure (not the case either).

Delete. Run of the mill aircrash. Nothing to merge. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 06:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Plaridel Airport, per WP:AIRCRASH and longstanding WP:AV consensus, as the accident occurred on takeoff. I agree with nom's reasoning that the topic lacks standalone notability; the accident had an unusually high ground fatality count, but creating the article now is a clear case of WP:TOOSOON.
