The result was keep. Per consensus, there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Furthermore, event notability is satisfied by the international nature of the incident and Wikipedia's stance on countering systematic bias. Philg88 ♦talk 06:51, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Contested PROD (WP:NOTNEWS), tag removed by article creator with, of course, no rationale. I see no reason why this unfortunate event is likely to be of lasting interest. WP:NOTCRYSTAL.TheLongTone (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: global coverage and meets WP:GNG, but event does not have historical significance, a wide impact, or a lasting effect. Global coverage of an event is not sufficient for a standalone article; global coverage and lasting coverage is sufficient, but I don't see how this will lead to years of coverage and new practices for transport.

 * Keep please, at least until you review recent additions that I have just contributed. I have never worked on a disaster or accident article and am finding it a learning experience, as the news reports change daily.  I think the significance of this accident, especially for the South Korean creator, is related to the accident involving South Koreans, in the border area of China and North Korea; with the added twist of the victims being government employees and their trip being a historical look at Japan's occupation of Korea.  Again, I cannot plead the rules pertaining to disasters and accidents, but it did get global coverage.--Bonnielou2013 (talk) 18:18, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's an international incident and receiving significant coverage. If 10, say, Iraqi government workers were killed in a bus accident while visiting the United States, I don't think there would be the same rush to delete it. By all accounts this was a one-vehicle accident; it appears that it was caused by the fault of the driver, which is going to escalate the situation. It just happened so it's too early to speculate on whether or not there will be a lasting impact, guidelines say we should not rush to delete news for this reason. —Мандичка YO 😜 19:26, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Article has been expanded since nomination, and would have easily met WP:GNG before that TBH.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 09:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - additionally, a Korean official who was president of the goverment group that organized the trip committed suicide yesterday in Ji'an.  —Мандичка YO 😜 23:27, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable and plenty of reliable news sources used.--58.106.224.138 (talk) 04:33, 7 July 2015 (UTC) — 58.106.224.138 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
