 | This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how notability may be interpreted within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. |
Due to censorship of mention of accidents in newspapers there is significantly less coverage of such Soviet air accidents even if they had other notable features such as high body count, hull loss, a design flaw in aircraft causing the crash, caused an aircraft to go out of service... etc.
Due to the fact that the geofocus of this project is the Soviet Union and CIS area, most media and press coverage of topics is in the Russian language.
Nearly of the topics here do lack english press and media coverage - but that does not render the topics non-notable. Rather, it increases the importance of publishing Wikipedia articles, as the general public of the English-speaking world would have little to no access to the information otherwise.
