The result was delete. Essentially, the "delete" votes linked to policy and used it to back their arguments up, while the "keep" votes didn't. If anyone would like the article userfied, drop me a line. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:48, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List is almost entirely original research and also goes against WP:INDISCRIMINATE where there is no clear reason to have such a list (although there is an obvious clear reason to have a list of actual plane crashes). There is no list of fictional car crashes, boat sinkings, etc. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 07:39, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I agree that there is no clear purpose in such a list. Namenamenamenamename (talk) 22:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. though probably rename to Aviation accidents and incidents in fiction. encyclopedic information doesn't have to have any purpose besides providing information DGG ( talk ) 18:06, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any encyclopedic information would be better served by adding a "In fiction" section to Aviation accidents and incidents than keeping this listcruft. There is no point to listing fictional accidents, that falls under WP:TRIVIA. However, the overall depictions of plane crashes in fiction might be of note if there are sources about it._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 19:47, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Largely unsourced and may be WP:OR, fails to demonstrate notability for list per WP:LISTN. Hzh (talk) 10:02, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Per LISTN, a list requires the subject to be mentioned as a group or set by independent reliable sources, but this article is largely comprised of original research.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:07, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as motion picture depictions of airplane crashes are often discussed by reviewers with knowledge of these kinds of events in terms of how accurately they show what happens. - WPGA2345 - ☛ 22:16, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How reviewers might discuss fictional airplane crashes has got nothing to do with a list of fictional plane crashes. Hzh (talk) 23:10, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete largely per TNT. This list is indiscriminate, unsourced, and nowhere near complete. A list of fictional works primarily about aviation incidents might be notable, but this is TVTropes quality. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:54, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
