2007 French coach crash

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Prime example of recentism. Article is three months old, but has yet to see significant expansion. No casualty makes it hardly notable too. I had never heard about it until today (and I can't find any reference to it in the CBC's archives in either languages) Circeus 21:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - not notable enough. Carcharoth 22:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC) Withdrawing my vote to see how article develops, per Blood Red Sandman's offer. Carcharoth 13:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete As per nom. But it could be made better. --rxnd ( t | &#8364; | c ) 04:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, though just because someone has never heard of it is not a reason, and it is not surprising it is not in the Canadian CBC's archives. It was, though, covered on British and French TV and in newspapers in both countries. Not notable, basically for reasons given in the article itself - no one died, and lots of coaches crash in France and elsewhere!!! Emeraude 11:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 16:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. This is a prime example of why WP:N is an often disputed guideline - for while it may technically satisfy N, only a few months later and people are scratching their heads trying to figure out what it is. Arkyan 19:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. We the Wikipedians of Wikiproject Disaster Management will assign someone to improve it. There is no clear-cut reason to delete. --Pupster21 19:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 * KeepI'd like to strike a deal, an behalf of the whole of WP:DM. How about if you were to withdraw this nom now, and give me - me personally, and I stick to my 'to-dos' - until, say, mid-May to improve this article into a nice piece of work, rather than the pathetic start-class it's currently in? Then, if still not convinced, you can renominate here and, if you're right, it will be deleted anyway, with no harm done. What do you say? I'm only asking for the chance to improve it to worthy standard. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting offer! Are you sure you wouldn't prefer to work on 2007 National Express coach crash? :-) Carcharoth 13:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Would I be correct in assuming that's a request to do so? ;-) Alright then, I may do some work on the National Express crash as well, but I'd say this is more urgent as it needs saved from AfD first. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep it. It draws together information from various sources for someone wishing to look into the subject - what we're about. --MBHiii 22:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep As the creator of this article, it is referenced and is written according to WP:MOS and does satisfy the notability guideline..  Telly addict  15:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
