Weak keep The crash catches my attention because it it doesn't sound like a "normal" accident. To me it sounds the plane was shot out of the sky or blown up either accidentally or on purpose. Anyway, both ways, that would make it plausible that Russia tries to cover it up. Due to the contoversies and because I think it would be a shame if this information would be lost, I vote Weak keep.

Even then, the fact that there hasn't been any news related to this accident since 2022 already fails, as I've said,
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and
WP:SUSTAINED.
The event fails
WP:INDEPTH and
WP:DIVERSE as most sources were covered by russian media outlets and didn't receive significant or in-depth coverage to be considered notable.

And the argument on losing the information is pretty weak per
WP:LOSE as this article already fails multiple guidelines.

Registration number RF-36074 crashed in
Uryv-Pokrovka,
Voronezh Oblast. The aircraft exploded in the air and fell between three villages. Fragments of the wreck scattered of over a large area.[1] According to the
Ministry of Defense, the preliminary cause was equipment failure.[2] According to eyewitnesses the cause was possibly a shell hit.[3] All of the undisclosed number of occupants were killed, consisting of crew members and paratroopers.[3] Usually this type of aircraft has six crew members.[1]
I feel like, judging from other entries in the article, that we should follow the same style therefore I would suggest keeping the entry as it is:
Registration number RF-36074 cashed in Voronezh Oblast, killing an undisclosed number of occupants. Allegedly caused by a technical malfunction.

I think a non-established style should never be regarded as more important than the quality of the prose or an inhibition of content. Note the current Russian state owned
Tass source has an interest and might be unreliable. The sources I use are more journalistic and not one-sided. (And what I said, don’t keep the typo :) )

The information is already there and it needs to be kept simple. I do agree with replacing the typo. I'm suggesting the following:
Registration RF-36074 crashed in Voronezh Oblast, killing an undisclosed number of occupants. Preliminary reports indicate a technical malfunction.
Comment I tried to improve the article with
these edits. I expanded the article (among others witnesses reports, noted there were paratroopers onboard and the number of crew members) and added an extra source. However, this was reverted by
Lachielmao (
talk·contribs).

To clarify I had no issue with the new content and sources added, but there was speculation used without a source as well as rewriting sections with worse grammar and writing prose.

@
Lachielmao: I don't understand why you say I added speculations without a source. See
here the version after I expanded it. Everything was well referenced. (Bye the way, it sounds ambiguous when you're saying "I had no issue with the new content and sources added" because you removed it.)

It would be preferable if you discussed this on the talk page instead of this page as this is a discussion on whether to keep or delete the article, not to talk about whether or not these edits should be included.

Merge As per nom, this fails
WP:SUSTAINED, and this crash doesn't seem to be any more notable than the many Russian aircraft crashes listed in the
List of aircraft losses during the Russo-Ukrainian War that don't have their own article, so we should just merge the basic information about the crash there.
