297:. There is no reliable source which makes a distinction about aircraft accidents involving more than 50 fatalities and those involving less. There's maybe a distinction between those involving any and those involving none (i.e. fatal accidents vs. other less tragic ones, including hull losses without loss of life), but not at an arbitrary number of fatal casualties. Given that no other source has made this compilation or anything ressembling it, then, this is by definition "original research which has not been published anywhere else". On top of the obviously OR and unsupported statements such as attributing a near exact number to each plane involved in the 2001 attacks. 76: 312:, including the OR bit, as well as the arbitrary selection (is there really a significant difference between accidents involving fatalities on the ground and those which do not? most fatal accidents which result in ground fatalities also include on-board fatalities; the few that don't are odd-ball cases, which might be 71: 300:
On top of that, this is duplicative of other lists which separate these accidents into more plausible groups (by year of event, or aircraft type involved, or commercial aircraft accidents only ), and the arbitrary criterion for inclusion (why 50? why not any other natural number) is not a good reason

arbitrarily has 50 items. Deadly airplane accidents is a notable thing to list, but we can't have them all for 50 fatalities was chosen for selection criteria. Grouping by year or aircraft type does not provide this overall context. I do think it's also relevant to have a listing for ground

The only useful content, the "History" section, is obviously about aircraft accidents in general, except for a few select mentions of "firsts" (and whether these are truly firsts or not is hard to verify without an actual secondary source doing the OR instead of a Knowledge (XXG) editor).

None of the addresses the OR concerns, which at this stage would remain even if the list were to be cut down: a look at the sources confirms that these are individual accident reports, they're all mostly from one source (Aviation Safety Network - which brings up issues of

I think it's reasonable to have a list article for notable fatal aviation accidents that contains a table ordered by the number of fatalities. Does such a table exist in another article? If not we certainly shouldn't delete this
392:
the nominator is essentially complaining about the title. Listing aircraft accidents by number of casualties makes perfect sense and the list was good enough to get featured quality (though maybe that should be reviewed per

and rename per others (though I'm hardly neutral). Many of the same issues were brought up in the first AfD for this list in 2013...
442: 568: 458:
Agree with Reywas92 about the rename. If a list is too long a discussion on the talk page can be had about a cut off point.
110: 106: 491:), and of course the whole listing is dramatically too extended. It would definitively require a decent amount of WP:TNT. 422: 52:. NC as the keep arguments don’t really address the or/synth issue but clearly never going to reach a delete consensus. 639: 40: 539: 173: 313: 560: 77:

580: 535: 426: 488: 635: 552: 36: 516: 421:. It's perfectly reasonable to list superlatives in a category with a cutoff even if it's arbitrary. 402: 492: 362: 345: 317: 266: 72:
