[edit] Azerbaijan Airlines flight 3026

Azerbaijan Airlines flight 3026 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No sources, no proof that such an incident occurred, no Google hits outside of Wikipedia, likely hoax. Khoikhoi 03:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as a hoax. I concur, two google hits - and not a one of them outside of Wikipedia. --Dennisthe2 03:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Needs better references than "I heard about this accident whislt in Baku, Azerbaijan." [1] -SpuriousQ (talk) 03:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:ATT. No such person as "Mochome Lucheberg".[2][3] Don't see route with flight number 3026 for Baku-Tbilisi either.[4]. cab 04:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as an unverified hoax. No records of accident in September 2006 for this airline with any of the normal monitoring services. Eddie.willers 04:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Strong Delete I agree. It's a hoax. Pablothegreat85 04:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Hoax. Maxamegalon2000 05:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Another hoax. Grandmaster 05:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and someone should check the users other edits, it looks like he has messed with a bunch of other pages related to airlines, crashes, etc., under possibly 2 other usernames. --killing sparrows 06:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I can find nothing to support this incident, and air accidents are big news no matter where they are. Ben W Bell talk 09:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - suspect it's a hoax. No reliable sources are given, and the article doesn't even specify the aircraft type. A check of the airline's web site reveals that they don't have flight numbers in the 3000 range. If I'm reading it right, they're only in the 2000s. I wasn't reading their timetable right - their IATA abbreviation is J2, so their flight numbers are all less than 1000. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Gotta ask, how were you able to extrapolate that from the IATA code? --Dennisthe2 19:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment But wait - Wikipedia says it's NOT a hoax! Be right back... Werthog 22:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Delete Okay, fixed! Werthog 22:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Wow. I never noticed that before. It's obviously not a hoax, because somebody said it's not in a Wikipedia article. Guess that GIGO doesn't apply anymore, does it? =^^= --Dennisthe2 01:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as hoax but do not treat the Google test as gospel.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 00:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: Interestingly, creator's userpage states that "I'm currently working in Helsinki, Sweden." Newyorkbrad 02:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete It violates attribution policy.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 11:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is utterly incomprehensible these days that a large airline crash in of the magnitude this article claims, won't generate widespread media interest, no matter where in the world the crash took place. No entry in the aviation-safety database either [5]. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Basically, show the media coverage or bust. I'm a lazy researcher, but it's never too hard to provide at least one external link that says this stuff actually happened. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 16:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Also no luck searching Factiva and LexisNexis. Smmurphy(Talk) 00:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - does WP:SNOW apply here yet? --Dennisthe2 23:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I think I herd about during late October in a small article the British Metro newspaper. It was a medium sized Tupolev aircraft. A Georgian man, 2 Armenian kids and several Tartars also survived the crash. It was not a total wipe out as claimed! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.29.253.109 (talk • contribs) 02:01, 24 March 2007.
