Welcome to the Aviation accident task force, a joint project of WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Disaster management.
- Goals
- To improve the quality of articles documenting accidents and incidents in aviation, as well as those dealing with other aviation safety issues
- Scope
Articles dealing with any of the following topics:
- Individual incident/accident articles
- Lists of aviation incidents and accidents
- Articles dealing with advances in aviation safety rules and technology
Notability guidelines
[edit]Proposed notability guidelines are available for comment at WP:Aircrash. To help develop this, a record of accident/incident AfDs has been built.
Accident article naming conventions
[edit](Refer also Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming)
- For commercial aircraft with a known flight number, the standard article name structure is:
<airline> Flight <flight number>
- For example: Korean Air Lines Flight 007, American Airlines Flight 77
- However, if the airline had two same flight numbers for different years, mention the year in '()' such as:
<airline> Flight <flight number> <year>
- For example: Aeroflot Flight 3739 (1976), Aeroflot Flight 3739 (1988)
- If the accident was in the same year with the same flight number, then mention the month, along with the year:
<airline> Flight <flight number> <month + year>
- For example: Linea Aeropostal Venezolana Flight 253 (June 1956), Linea Aeropostal Venezolana Flight 253 (November 1956)
- For articles on air accidents without a flight number, the title should be in the format:
<year> <airline> <aircraft> <event>
- or, if this is not possible,
<year> <place> <event>
- unless the accident is notable for the involvement of a particular group, in which case the format should be:
<group> <event>
- College sports teams should include the full school name rather than the mascot (for example, Wichita State University football team plane crash). If the incident has a flight number, this format should be used as a redirect.
- For further disambiguation, the year can be added (see for example 1926 Air Union Blériot 155 crash). Some flexibility can be exercised. Examples:
- Exceptions: if the event has acquired a popular name, that name should be used. Examples:
Tagging and assessment

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Accident-task-force=yes
to the {{WPAVIATION}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into Category:Aviation accident task force articles. You can also add this to the talk page of images, categories, and templates. Cut and paste this code: {{WikiProject Aviation|Accident-task-force=yes}}
