Was there ever an official explanation as to why Burton stormed the cockpit in the first place? --66.29.169.1 (talk) 21:05, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support definitely a nn-person known for the incident. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 12:33, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't move - Jonathan Burton's death was a major news story the week this happened. Some of the news magazine articles carried his photo. The police report and most of the printed accounts made no mention of the flight number. There was nothing unusual about the flight or the airplane. It was Burton's death that was unusual. Jonathan Burton was so notable that three different playwrights based dramas on him. Pepso2 (talk) 15:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support move. Echoing The Bushranger, it seems to me that the usual practice around here under WP:1E (not WP:BLP1E, since the person is not living) would suggest the article should be named after the event. The event is certainly notable.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Seems that the event is notable, and Burton's death is notable, much more than his life. And because there were no "victims" of Burton's rage, and the flight was not significantly altered, nor was the plane even damaged, I would submit that the most notable events were Burton's rage, capture, and death. Therefore, I suggest the article be moved to Death of Jonathan Burton. Boneyard90 (talk) 18:30, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Except his death isn't really notable outside the context of the flight; and as an aviation incident, it should be categorised by the flight number. - The BushrangerOne ping only 17:40, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That is true, though the proximal cause of Burton's death was the dog-pile that got him under control. This could become circular; his death was caused by excessive force, which was necessary because of the air rage, which happened because he was on a plane, which led to the air rage, the excessive force, and death... In short, my view is that while the incident occurred in the context of a flight, the proximal cause was the excessive force, which was applied independent of the crew or the functions of the aircraft. Finally, notability in this case is associated with the decedent, not the aircraft. Boneyard90 (talk) 18:48, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
