Talk:2013 Rediske Air DHC-3 Otter crash#Merge proposal

...has written back to me, consenting to releasing the image on a requisite free license suitable for Commons. I will install it when he does change the license. --Mareklug ^talk 07:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

:Pending the license change. I've linked to an existing Wikimedia Commons photo of a Turbo Otter, which better represents the appearance of the incident aircraft than the stock radial engine version. I also sifted through the Keith B Pics photostream on Flickr.com until I found the specific link to the image, which offers all the available sizes. The biggest size is 500 x 357 pixels, most likely not the original camera image. The photographer's Flickr.com page is a mess, with no sets, galleries or albums, just one big heap of nearly 2,900 photos. — Quicksilver^{T @} 13:52, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

:: Uploaded, placed. I asked Keith for a high-resolution image. --Mareklug ^talk 17:21, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

:::The photographer just informed me via FlickrMail that he declines to provide a high resolution image under the free license, as he is still interested in selling that. He says the low resolution image should suffice for printing needs, and if anyone is interested in the high resolution image, to contact him (presumably via Flickr). --Mareklug ^talk 07:48, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

This article was kept at AfD in 2013, soon after the actual event, with an explicit not from the closer that a merge could/should be discussed. Over 10 years on, and there were only two brief follow-up reports: one in the ADN [https://www.adn.com/aviation/article/soldotna-air-taxi-crash-2013-killed-10-blamed-improper-loading/2015/10/21/] and Alaska Public Media [https://alaskapublic.org/news/2014-09-22/ntsb-releases-preliminary-report-on-2013-soldotna-crash]. There's a few passing mentions in other reports on small aircraft accidents, but no analysis or new information that I would use to expand the article. {{pb}} Now, I'd really like to improve our article on Rediske Air, but there's not much to go on outside of this event. It's the company's main claim to notability. Without merging them, we're left with a very stubby article and an article about an event that we can't expand any further. With them together, we can go into detail about the firm's history, place the accident in better context, and just generally make a much more comprehensive article on an interesting page of Alaskan history. I'll do the merge myself, obviously, if there are no objections. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 18:27, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose the article had continued coverage in the years after the crash. But I would support the other way around'. If Rediske Air is only notable for this event; I would agree with merging Rediske Air into this article. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 13:13, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
