The article should be redirected to Kato Airline where this incident is already covered. There is not much more to say which warrants a separate article. Bruxton ( talk) 03:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect per nom. A lightning strike doesn't warrant an article.

- Genuine question, but what do you mean by saying that? Do you mean that the incident alone does not warrant an article because an incident that had lightning strike involved is not significant enough to have an article on its own? Planeandcarguy ( talk) 01:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Commercial transport passenger planes are hit by lightning an average of one or two times a year." I missed that it resulted in the plane being written off, but it was a light aircraft, to which Afd applies different standards than large airliners. Clarityfiend ( talk) 07:46, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- The Dornier 228 is not a light aircraft. RecycledPixels ( talk) 21:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per above. XtraJovial ( talk • contribs) 14:25, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Some Wikipedia editors have done the same with the Loganair Flight 6780 article and the article was eventually included on Wikipedia, he felt that the more information about the incident the better it should be on Wikipedia. Julian AR ( talk) 03:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Two differences: Loganair's Saab 2000 is over the weight limit for light aircraft. More importantly, changes were recommended for the autopilot. Clarityfiend ( talk) 10:12, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- The Dornier 228 is not a light aircraft. RecycledPixels ( talk) 21:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Light aircraft says 5,670 kg is the max. weight. Dornier 228 says its empty weight is 3,900 kg. Clarityfiend ( talk) 03:34, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- 5,670 kg maximum gross takeoff weight vs 3,900kg empty weight. The 228 has a max gross takeoff weight of 6,575kg. RecycledPixels ( talk) 15:51, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to Kato Airline as suggested above. Given the nature of the incident, I am not convinced it is notable enough for a standalone article but I think redirecting to the carrier where the incident can be mentioned is a suitable alternative. The article history of this can be kept so that the current sentence on the target article could be expanded if needs be. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 08:44, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect per Bungle. Seems like a fairly WP:ROUTINE incident; lightning strikes hit aircraft all the time and this was a small one. Crashes of small aircraft are probably only notable through other aspects, such as being terrorism ( 2010 Austin suicide attack) or involving the death of a famous person. Props to the pilots, though. Ovinus ( talk) 19:57, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
