Wikipedia is not a newspaper. This article does not purport to do anything other than report on a serious traffic accident. It does not indicate that the event has any significance other than as a report of a current event. R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:55, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination. This event may have had importance immediately after it first occurred, but it is insignificant by today's standards. The only sources are from news organizations, and were produced on the day of the event, supporting the claim of this event not being verifiable enough for inclusion based on WP:NOTNEWS.

 * Delete per nom. No lasting significance to an unusually deadly, but otherwise routine, accident. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:22, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. One of the worst such incidents in the country's history and officials began discussing a raft of measures long after the event --Benchwarming (talk) 03:36, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not seeing any depth of coverage, particularly broad coverage, or significant international coverage here. TheBlinkster (talk) 09:08, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
