Sorry, tragic bus accident but not notable in the scheme of an encyclopedia. This is news. At most, the fact can be inserted into the Papua New Guinea article or the article of the nearest city. In the footnotes, a little more information can be supplied. Goldamania (talk) 23:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - Papua New Guinea's worst ever road accident. - Richard Cavell (talk) 00:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article's references show coverage by reliable sources in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. If the Washington Post and the Miami Herald consider an event in Papua New Guinea notable, it probably is. - Eastmain (talk) 00:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain and Richard Cavell. It would certainly be inappropriate to merge this to the country article as Goldamania suggests, and the nearest city, Lae, is 130 km away, so not really relevant. I don't believe there's an article on the highway on which the crash occurred.- gadfium 00:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Have to agree with the above. It also came under discussion at ITN where it successfully made it onto the Main Page as Papua New Guinea's worst ever road accident, therefore not news but an event that Papua New Guinea will not forget easily. Was mentioned by politicians in Papua New Guinea. Media coverage across the Southern Hemisphere. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  00:44, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as nominator's motivation was misguided. ArcAngel (talk) (review) 00:51, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Any occurrence that is the most destructive or tragic accident or event in a country's history should be covered.-- FP Atl  AEC ♥  T   C  00:55, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
