Delete per nom. Different standards apply to military and civilian crashes. The media report it and then move on, with no lasting effect. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:02, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Tragic but WP:NOTNEWS applies. Military accidents are more common....William 13:54, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Military aircraft accidents are rarely notable enough for a stand-alone article and I cant see anything about this that takes it over the bar. No reason why it cant be listed at List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2010–present). MilborneOne (talk) 20:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, can be mentioned in 2015 in aviation or 2015 in Afghanistan instead. Brandmeister^talk 08:44, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons mentioned above. No notable persons involved and it didn't get any significant news coverage either. Michael5046 (talk) 19:08, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Definitely not notable. Haven't even heard of this before. Versus001 (talk) 19:34, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, well obviously it isn't notable then. Presumably you have heard of the subject of every one of our other 4,945,294 articles? -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Swimming against the tide, I know, but I still maintain that claiming any plane crash killing this many people is routine or not notable just because it's military and not civilian is ludicrous. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How about the notion that, as there is no widespread significant in-depth coverage, it hasn't met the general notability guidelines, regardless of how many deaths there were. If nobody outside Wikipedia is covering it, then we shouldn't either. Delete YSSYguy (talk) 02:55, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
