The result of the move request was: 2020 East African Airways Brasilia crash (non-admin closure) buidhe 05:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
2020 East African Express Airways shootdown → 2020 Somalia East African Express Airways crash – According to news reports, Ethiopian troops claim to have shot the aircraft down, but Somali authorities are not treating their claims as conclusive. We should wait for a preliminary report from independent expert authorities before formally describing this accident as a shootdown. Lastly, I suggest using "Somalia" as the location, as Berdale is not well known internationally, and some sources spell it as "Bardale" or "Berdelle."

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>
My bad, my brain defaulted to the wrong naming convention. I would totally support 2020 East African Airways Brasilia crash; my main impetus for suggesting the move is that I think it's premature to characterize this as a shootdown. Carguychris (talk) 13:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just tagged the page as needing updates. Many basic facts about the crash are absent from this article, but despite repeated Internet searches, I have been unable to find any English-language news about this crash from after May 2020. Earlier news articles discuss investigations being underway by the Somali and possibly Kenyan governments, but I cannot track down any official reports. I respectfully request help updating this article, preferably from an editor familiar with East Africa who may be able to interpret news sources in other languages, and/or knows how to obtain relevant documents from governments in the region.
