Per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT: There exists no reliable independent (significant) news coverage of the event, no secondary sources, no in-depth coverage, no (sustained) continued coverage, no demonstrated lasting effects nor long-term impacts on a significant region of the world that would make this event notable enough for a stand-alone article.

• Merge into Mid-air collision Yet another major aviation incident that russia was completely tight lipped about, sadly, even though its tragic, due to Russia's secrecy it cant warrant an article. if this took place anywhere else it would stand as an article itself.

• Redirect to Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1970s. Incident is sufficiently covered there. Meltdown627 (talk) 16:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment This seems to have been an accident of some sort of airline flight. Plus, there were many casualties. If we can find sources and the airline's name, I'll say keep. If not, then as the others said, merge and redirect. The article does need to get fixed. Jeanette Ma' Bakker Martin (talk to me) 00:22, 9 October, 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1970s per Meltdown627. This is a WP:News article without any secondary coverage to meet GNG, and there's nothing about fatal accidents that makes them inherently notable. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:31, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. An air accident that kills 14 people is clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Notability is not solely inherented because of the casualty count. For the most part, a topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources which this event lacks. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 12:40, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
