On 28 August 2013, British Airways Flight 39, a Boeing 747-436 from London to Beijing, China safely diverted to International Airport Irkutsk (IKT), Russia following overheated avionics of the navigation system. There were no injuries on the flight. LucasZhang23 (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am concerned that this article does not meet the good article criteria anymore. Some of my concerns are listed below:
There are several orange banners of various concerns in the article from December which have not been addressed yet, mostly concerning a reliance on primary sources.
I am not sure the "Incidents and accidents" section is necessary in this article, and could be moved to its own article, incorporated into the "History" section if notable for the airline, or removed.
The article suffers from MOS:OVERSECTION and these one-paragraph sections should be merged together, expanded upon, or considered for removal.
There are uncited statements throughout the article.
There are several "reliance on primary sources" orange banners that need to be addressed. There are uncited statements throughout the article, MOS:OVERSECTION concerns, and I think the "Incidents and accidents" section can be incorporated into the article's history or removed from the article.

I do, I've been a bit ill recently, it's why my normal article writing has fallen off in recent weeks - finally feeling better for the first time, but it is still not great. I am also having an issue with the primary source problem, in that in several instances they are extremely trivial bits of info, to the point where I'd suspect nobody but BA would ever care to mention them. I see a very strong case for third party sourcing of any claim that is, or remotely is, extraordinary, such as "British Airways was the most profitable airline in the world in the mid 1990s" (a true fact indeed) while a statement like "British Airways has a class of seating called [X]" is... mundane. Does it really need to even be cited at all? WP:Cite had never demanded absolutely everything to have a cite, technically only that which is challenged; so, can I resolved the primary source tag by simply removing them and leaving them uncited? What's the best course of action for the mundanes? Kyteto (talk) 18:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
