Nose gear collapses are not uncommon [1] and there is nothing notable about this incident. ...William 10:42, 23 July 2013 (UTC) reply

The landing gear didn't just collapse when a Southwest Airlines jet touched down in New York City and plunged nose-first into the tarmac: The landing gear punched into the plane itself as it skidded for almost half a mile.
The new revelations came Tuesday as the National Transportation Safety Board continued to investigate its second major landing accident by a Boeing jetliner in three weeks.
*Neutral - Not a notable incident, did not result in loss of hull or life. However, the investigation is not yet done yet.

Don't delete; this is not a standard nosegear collapse (which I agree would not be notable), it is a semi-uncontrolled nosegear-first crash landing which could have ended very badly. It is well worthy of continued discussion and analysis. Nankai ( talk) 04:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC) reply
Attempting a Google Search using the "verbatim" setting on Search Tools, I tried southwest oakland nose gear giving About 612,000 results while southwest laguardia nose gear gives About 2,380,000 results - I believe this is good empirical data on the relative notability of this incident relative to Oakland which was your classic aircraft nose gear collapse.

Whether the deletion rationale have changed or not, the article still fails notability according to WP:AIRCRASH. Merging discussions won't be there if the article warranted stand-alone status.-- Jetstreamer Talk 11:30, 30 July 2013 (UTC) reply
