 * Given that this article was created by and expanded by, it is a pleasure for me to review this hook.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 18:08, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've marked one sentence in the ″Antecedents″ section as needing sourcing. It won't be a problem to find a reference for that claim.
 * There's not a single date format throughout the article: the lead includes a dmy format, whereas the rest of the page uses mdy format. Please fix this.
 * According to WP:ASOF, expressions like ″currently″ should be avoided. Please use.
 * ″The cause of the accident has not been determined″. As of when?
 * The information dealing with the fact that the train did not stopped at two previous stations is duplicated. I suggest removing it from the ″Accident″ section.
 * ″The new trains are only used from Monday to Friday″. Please use past tense. The article documents a past event, it shouldn't be written as a news blog.
 * The last paragraph of the ″Political reactions″ section is not strictly political. Why not renaming the section to just ″Aftermath″, as with most of the other articles of the type?
 * Is it possible to add more sources in English? I'm comfortable with Spanish references, but given that this is English Wikipedia...

The number of injured people is different in the hook and in the article.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 18:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Done. As for sources, there are 4 sources in English around there; the problem with them is that they usually have a single article for the event when it had just happened, and do not continue providing further information when it becomes yesterday's news (it's unlikely to find info about the ongoing investigations, or the reactions of some days afterwards). On the other hand, as a local newspaper La Nación does continue with such coverage. Besides, as a newspaper of record it is clearly a reliable source. Sorry about the use of present tense, I wrote things as they were being reported in the newspaper (the event was almost a week ago), and with all the info I forgot the detail that in a very short time it would become a past event.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg All my concerns have been addressed, particularly the one regarding the number of injured people. New enough and length ok at the time of nomination, and the hook is now properly sourced. Good to go.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 16:03, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
