 * Keep train crashes in Greece are rare, this being the first in Greece with a fatality since December 2001, and there have only been two others in Greece worthy of a mention on Wikipedia since, in 2005 and 2008. The derailed train crashing into a building is also a very rare event, although not completely unknown. It is only right and proper that Wikipedia should cover this event.

 * Keep: We can't say that there is no long term impact, three days after the crash, see WP:EFFECT last paragraph. WP:GEOSCOPE is shown by this coverage from the UK:, and ; this from the US ; this from India ; this from Ireland  this from the perliminary investigation . For the preliminary investigation to be getting coverage shows a significant degree of significance, in addition to the international coverage. TheMagikCow (T) (C) 15:57, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
