"Over 50 fatalities" does not = "meets GNG"; not does the existence of a list for which the article would qualify for inclusion, as lists can and are suitable for containing subject and items that are, when it comes to having their own articles, entirely non-notable. However the policy concern re: the nominator is relevant. Pete, you really should know better than this by now. -

Keep although it is true that most military accidents are not notable we still have some exceptions and the high number of fatalities in this accident would make the accident generally notable military or not.

Speedy keep - no policy-based reason for deletion. 53 losses in a military accident is actually far more unusual than the equivalent loss in a civilian crash, due to the rarer occurrences of these bigger military planes going down. It also meets GNG, as evidenced in the article. Why does this WikiProject insist on trying to delete anything that doesn't agree with its fairly narrow-minded guideline, regardless of if it is actually notable or not?
