 * Keep. Terrible article, but quite clearly a notable disaster. Would there even be a tiny chance of deletion if a disaster with this sort of death toll had happened in the USA or UK? Not a hope in hell. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep notable event, covered worldwide. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep oops, forgot this. Clearly notable, and more than just a church collapse when taking the context of the characters too.  Clearly yet another pointed nomination from someone who seems to not entirely understand what AFD is for, e.g. ever heard of a stub?  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Noteworthy incident with Plenty of news coverage including the SABC, BBC, CNN, Reuters, The Guardian, and others.--T. Anthony (talk) 01:57, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable based on the number of fatalities. Wikipedia has a problem with systemic (first world) bias and the nominator should know better. Zaian (talk) 06:04, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable. Covered the world over. Orasis (talk) 06:08, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. If the death of 60 people is not notable enough for the nominator then I wonder what exactly should be notable for him — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.206.12.43 (talk) 11:29, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep: As per others above me.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:08, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
