2012 Mexico bus crash

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable. Perhaps merge into an article describing multiple transportation disasters, but there's more here than should be in a Wikipedia article, and less than is required for a stand-alone Wikipedia article. Also a clearly inappropriate name; there's likely to be more bus crashes in Mexico in 2012, although perhaps not as newsworthy. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:54, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete A very tragic occurrence, but nothing would indicate that the event has any lasting notability. Delete per WP:NOT.  Rorshacma (talk) 22:39, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep A single bus with 43 deaths is notable. If this had happened in the US, UK or even Switzerland, then no-one would even consider it for deletion. This easily meets WP:GNG. Expansion, not deletion is the answer.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:17, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. This many deaths in a single accident is clearly notable. And to anyone who would like to dispute this opinion with me: Heard all the arguments before, don't agree with 'em, so don't bother. That's my opinion. I'm entitled to it. This is an AfD. Opinions are actually what count here. I don't have to justify it by quoting spurious "rules" (which aren't, of course, this being Wikipedia) ad infinitem. End of. Thank you. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:08, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The closing admin is supposed to determine which rules determine whether the article should be deleted, not count noses or bytes. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 08:07, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of that (although I would once again reiterate that Wikipedia has no rules - it has policies and guidelines, all of which are open to interpretation). I was just trying to stave off the usual tedious chorus of "X rule says Y so your opinion is invalid because I don't agree with it and look I can quote stuff so I must be right" that I usually get in these circumstances. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:18, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant coverage in major international media. Passes WP:GNG. -- Supernova Explosion   Talk  01:45, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Our own feeling that it is notable because of the umber of deaths is echoed by the media, and it therefore meets the GNG.  DGG ( talk ) 23:39, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
