Template talk:London rail accidents

Ordering
This seems strange in alphabetical order as it depends on what each accident has been called - the names of these things are unlikely to have been standardised. Wouldn't date order work better? Secretlondon 23:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Inclusion
This list is very incomplete and the selection seems somewhat arbitrary. Is it really worthwhile when there are other similar categories available which it seems to partially duplicate, such as Railway accidents and incidents in London? If retained, shouldn't it be expanded to bring it up to date? Several significant Underground accidents/incidents are missing, for example. Hyperman 42 (talk) 22:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Regarding duplication with lists: see WP:CLN. As for inclusion criteria, I would say that there needs to be a standalone article devoted to the accident. Almost all of the present list do have one; but one (Holborn (1980)) doesn't, it's a section within the article about the station. That one should probably be removed. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 11:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, very helpful info. The converse may be whether some accidents in the list merit a separate article and therefore one should be added. I agree that Holborn isn't significant enough to count in the separate list. On the other hand, Northwood is one of only four (or five?) accidents actually causing fatalities and therefore seems to merit a separate article. Hyperman 42 (talk) 15:33, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
