Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kolhapur bus accident

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was moved to Draft:Kolhapur bus accident. There is a clear majority for deleting this, a solid minority for keeping it, and one vote to wait and see. Moving to draft basically accomplishes all of those goals. The article is gone from mainspace, but it has not been deleted entirely from the encyclopedia, and can be restored to mainspace if future reporting in reliable sources arises to bring this out of merely being a short-term news item. bd2412 T 02:56, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. This is a singular incident without any real encyclopedic value. Hagennos (talk) 14:40, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets notability guidelines as per WP:SUSTAINED, widely covered by multiples sources and over 3,11,000 results on google. Xzinger (talk) 07:02, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This incident happened only on 26 Jan 2018. How can it have WP:SUSTAINED in less than 2 days? It is just a news item. Hagennos (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To add, all RS coverage I can find is on 26th, and a few on 27th. Not a single report on it thereafter. MT Train^Discuss 16:04, 30 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Delete per Hagennos. Of note Google pings have gone down to 244,000 with the majority of pings not related to the accident. Nightfury 08:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wait 13 deaths a large number. I am not saying keep or delete, just wait some time and see if anything worth-aside from the sadly tragic loss of 13 lives-comes out of this to make it encyclopedia worthy or not.Antonio the regular fool looking at you Martin talalalala! 23:11, 1 February, 2018 (UTC)
Keep There is now international coverage also : Xinhua DGG ( talk ) 02:19, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete--Per NOTNEWS.~ Winged Blades^Godric 05:15, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Google hits are inaccurate/untrustworthy. International coverage is same-day wire-service level. Fails NOTNEWS/SUSTAINED (lack of coverage after 27th) per above, and WP:TYTapplies: the event doesn't go anywhere at this point. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 05:45, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. When studied, we see that editors have been attempting to track these disasters for nearly thirty years. Why put a stop to it now? This is a news item for a short time, then it becomes an item to study to try to minimize disasters in the future. That's a bit encyclopedic, isn't it?

Comment. I believe it was the recently deleted Mamoon Manzil fire article that might perhaps be reinstated for the same reason? Paine Ellsworth ^put'r there 10:20, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (ping Paine Ellsworth): A possibility would be for lesser events to be included at a series of "List of disasters in India in year" articles (which ideally would exist as head articles) and redirect from the navbox, such as is done with storms, etc. On the other hand, it's questionable as to what degree either this or the Mammoon Manzil fire, though tragic can be considered "disasters", since that implies some kind of significant/widespread/long-term/public impact/range/scale/importance/aftermath. A sample of prior years' articles in the navboxes suggests that almost all inclusions easily meet that fuzzy bar. For the MM fire, on the other hand, there were at least two deadlier fires in December in Mumbai alone [1][2]. Re this article, the not dissimilar 2017 Quintana Roo bus crash, with more passengers and at least 12 Western victims, doesn't appear to be a significant disaster either. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 08:28, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:05, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
