Keep. The event is very recent, so you can't yet say that there is no lasting coverage or impact. I would hope that this tragedy would encourage government officials and traffic police in Balochistan to encourage safer driving practices. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Admittedly, the nominator's assertation makes no sense (it happened two days ago - sustained coverage is literally impossible, it's still a breaking event), but given the media landscape in Pakistan I really, really doubt this will have long term coverage. Most accidents like this don't have long term coverage even in Western countries. There's not really anything to be "analyzed", it wasn't on purpose - what would be said about this in the future? I doubt it would have much impact law-wise even in the west. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: road accident Fahads1982^talk/contrib 22:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We all knows this was a road accident. But why should we keep this page? --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 07:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't create articles for every road accident. LibStar (talk) 02:10, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:N and WP:NEVENT with only brief news coverage. There's no "road accidents are assumed notable until proven otherwise". We can say any event might have significant coverage later, but that doesn't mean we should create an article for every news story we find. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
