2015 Heimdal train derailment
AfDs for this article:

Renominating this article as well as 2015 Galena train derailment for the same reasons as the first AfD. For some reason the first discussion was closed as "no consensus" even though there were 9 votes in favor of deletion or merge including the article creator who changed his vote, and only 2 keeps. The article was instead redirected to List of rail accidents (2010–present) for almost a year with no objections until one particular user seemed determined to reignite this debate recently. There is also a merge discussion at Talk:List of rail accidents (2010–present), however the page seems dead. There is no reason this event should have it's own article as both events are already mentioned at List of rail accidents (2010–present). This event was already considered unnotable last May. Today, no one even remembers this event as it is ancient history.

 * Delete and merge as per nom. These types of articles are only notable if catastrophic damage had occurred. No deaths and minimal damage in this accident makes it not notable. Nordic   Dragon  07:21, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of rail accidents (2010–present). A merge there could be considered, but there is already a mention here (a small one, but that's all that it warrants). I guess the "no consensus" in spite of the absence of relevant keep !votes was due to the split between "delete" and "merge" recommendations (if deleted, the content and edit history go down the sink).

 * Redirect as still questionable and unlikely better for its own article. Certainly not seriously needed for deletion, so Redirect. SwisterTwister   talk  06:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * There is nothing wrong with deleting it all together because no one is really searching for it and the article traffic is dismal. https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/#project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-90&pages=2015_Heimdal_train_derailment TL565 (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
