The result was delete. To be honest, I dislike deleting articles like this about incidents that are significant in a particular country or location. But I find the consensus in this discussion is that WP:NOTNEWS applies and, consequently, that this results in a decision to Delete this article. Liz ^{Read!

This incident, while tragic, fails WP:NOTNEWS. Fatalities as a result of drunk driving are a routine and common occurence, and there's no indication this particular event will receive any lasting coverage beyond a single news cycle Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:31, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. @Stclaus66: You use Wikinews. --Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 13:03, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS even WP:MEMORIAL. Routine, sadly, traffic incident. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the nomination. It's a sad event but I agree with the comment that "a result of drunk driving are a routine and common occurrence" Fifthapril (talk) 13:23, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a routine car crash. Unfortunately, we live in a world where fatal crashes from drunk driving are routine. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:25, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep looks like a notable event and is well sourced. Moondragon21 (talk) 16:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please read WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:09, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Tragic, yes, but this happens every day around the world and this incident is no more special to warrant an article. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 00:56, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Zochova. The information about the car crash belongs on Wikipedia, because the event and following policy debates has resulted in a lot more coverage in the reliable media sources compared to most traffic accidents. At the same time, a separate page is not warranted as per policy guidelines cited by the previous posters in this discussion. Newklear007 (talk) 16:22, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Yes, it is true that fatalities caused by drunk drivers are all too common. However, killing five people waiting at a bus stop is a highly unusual event. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:27, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: WP:NOTNEWS, WP:MEMORIAL. This is an unextraordinary occurrence, all the way down to the thoughts-and-prayers vows by legislators to "take action". It is not even a particularly high death toll in my unfortunate experience. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:25, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
