Note to administrator edit

The AFD was closed under grounds of G5 but if you put that aside, the consensus of the AFD was firmly in favor of deletion....William 18:03, 17 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Might have done, but at least two additional sources were published after the discussion, rendering a decision then based on WP:N moot anyhow. WilyD 08:29, 18 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Please note, on 20th January I suggested on the page Talk:De Havilland Dragon that the detail provided under the accidents and incidents subheading was far too much for an aircraft type article (this incident alone was almost half of the article and as such had a negative impact on the quality of that article). I suggested the creation of a new article at this time, but did not create this until August - searching Wikipedia did not yield any previous AfD discussions, and nobody from any associated wikiproject notified me that this article had been deleted previously when I suggested it be re-written, which I did in good faith as a completely original submission. I doubt a dispute under WP:N would succeed given the amount of media coverage the accident received in Australia, and given the depth and volume of the information in the article, I stand by my previous assertion that it is worthy of a separate article which I will improve upon if nessecary. I cannot understand why this was twice nominated for speedy deletion - there are no improvement tags and the project has assessed it as B-Class, but I would request anyone who nominates it again to provide a link to original AfD discussion if the reason is on grounds of G4, or to provide recommendations on what the improvements the article needs first.

The following coordinate fixes are needed for

To judge by the official accident report cited in the article, this appears to have been a simple error of entering west longitude rather than east longitude. I've altered the coordinates accordingly. Thanks for pointing out the error. Deor (talk) 17:16, 20 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
