:{{ping|Meeshboi}} Thank you for reaching out to me regarding this on my talk page. I appreciate your effort to create aviation incident articles - they're an important topic on Wikipedia, and a topic I enjoy reading and maintaining as well. I had actually heard the news of the SW flight 8701 landing, and many major news sources were drawing connections between it and the grounding of the 737 Max. I agree that this incident is certainly gathering more news attention than other similar uneventful emergency landings. However, as I stated in my PROD, for all intents and purposes, what happened with this flight was relatively routine - no damage, no injuries - and the flight also contained no passengers. Per [[WP:LASTING]], it is necessary for an event to have a lasting effect in order to be considered notable, and while it may have ''temporary'' notability because the aircraft was a 737 MAX, does not mean it will have the lasting notability needed. It looks like another editor opened an [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southwest Airlines Flight 8701|AfD entry]] for the article, and I recommend discussing your opinion there. --<span style="font-size:95%;">[[User:Hunterm267|<span style="color:FireBrick">'''HunterM267'''</span>]]&nbsp;^{[[User talk:Hunterm267|talk]]}</span> 16:35, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
