• Delete and which is it, while taxiing or sitting at the gate? Ruby 02:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Continental Airlines --NaconKantari e|t||c|m 03:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Continental Airlines; the man's name is worth keeping as a redirect, seeing as its been fairly prominent over the news today. -Rebelguys2 03:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Fairly prominent in the news today -- but how about tomorrow? or next week? or in three years? WP isn't for people's 15 minutes of fame/insanity. Even then, if someone heard his name, they know the whole story. This article doesn't add anything. Redirect is a waste of space. Dbchip 04:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect -- Astrokey44|talk 04:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Continental Airlines; it's already mentioned there. PJM 05:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per PJM; redirect can be deleted if subject loses notability. Grandmasterka 06:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect for now.--Adam ^(talk) 16:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and wait a year to see if this is a remarkable incident. Wikinews is that way ---> Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 17:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete is every odd happening aboard an airliner notable, much less the guy who does it? Carlossuarez46 19:41, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I don't see how you people are possibly justifying a redirect on this one. This is simply non-notable. If it doesn't belong in the Continental Airlines article, which it doesn't, why should it be redirected there? Someone jumping out of a plane could happen on ANY airline. Maybe, and this is a stretch, merge it into some page about "aviation incidents", but don't tarnish Continental with this. Cyde Weys 21:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

It's already mentioned in the Incidents and Accidents section of Continental Airlines, as I stated above. That's why I (and apparently some others) think a redirect is sensible. PJM 21:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, Wikipedia is not Wikinews. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this is not a newswire - no evidence this isn't an isolated, forgettable incident CDC (talk) 00:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete without redirect. per JzG. -Ikkyu2 06:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
