[edit] N900SA

The article is not an encyclopedic entry but a news report. It could be moved to Wikinews.JRSP 12:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and rewrite. It should be noted that the nominator has been systematically deleting anything from Wikipedia that can be perceived as critical of Venezuela or Hugo Chavez, and this nomination may be politically motivated. Drug traficcing through Venezuela has become very notable, and is mentioned in several other articles. There are other articles about aircraft: this can be rewritten to conform.

  • Weak keep. I am not sure whether this is a notable aircraft (it might) but I disagree that this is "just a news report". It definitely has the potential to become a fully encyclopedic article about this aircraft, and is already not just about the incident. Kusma (討論) 14:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep per Kusma's comments. I'd like to see this become an article about the aircraft itself, with the "news report" portion of it relegated to just one section of an article on what seems to be a notable aircraft. Scorpiondollprincess 15:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. I believe the aircraft - and the drug seizure from it - is notable enough to warrant its own page, and it should simply be edited and expanded upon to bring it up to the appropriate level of quality. —LoganCale (talk | contribs) 14:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Expand and rename: Ok, I accept this could become a good article someday, I would suggest a more telling name like "N900SA DC-9" or something similar. It is difficult for a non-expert to realize what this article is about only by reading the title.--JRSP 03:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
    • That's what the first line is for, where it says: The DC-9 aircraft with the former tail number N900SA. The N would mean, US. Have you never heard of a YV - CP, Yankee Victor Charlie Papa? They're useful for peole who live under repressive dictatorial regimes. Sandy 03:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
