Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2022 Balochistan bus incident


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Although there were a lot of keeps in this discussion, I don't see how any of them can overcome the NOTNEWS rationale of those wanting to delete. In particular, the claim there will be more coverage in the future isWP:CRYSTAL. I'm not going to close this as (the already carried out) merge to Sherani District because I'm not convinced that that is not WP:UNDUE even there. But that does not preclude anyone from creating a redirect there until and unless inclusion of the material there is challenged.

2022 Balochistan bus incident

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

An accident like this happens with relative frequency all over the world. WP:MILL. There is no indication that this accident will meet WP:LASTING or WP:GEOSCOPE guidelines. Bruxton (talk) 04:01, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Agreeing with nominator here. We don't host articles on every vehicle accident on every road in the world, even when many people are killed in a given accident (as here), because such incidents, though covered in-depth in reliable independent published sources, are routine events.  We could almost start treating American mass shootings in the same way for the same reason, except that in a shooting there is always the deranged mind of the shooter which makes these events notable, even if several started to occur every hour or so.  A driver who miscalculates the width of a roadway in a ravine, even if many die and it gets covered in the news, is dog-bites-man news (if the driver were deranged and drove a bus off a cliff to deliberately kill all the passengers, THAT we would probably want to have an article on, however!).  What makes this particular vehicle accident more interesting than most vehicle accidents?  If nothing, then, no matter how tragic, it is not notable enough for Wikipedia.

 * Delete Last coverage was 3 days ago. It is not getting coverage anymore. Editorkamran (talk) 03:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Changing to Keep because this incident is now getting coverage and mention even in other recent reports about different incidents. Editorkamran (talk) 06:30, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Passing mentions at best, and one is just a regional publication, does not meet WP:GEOSCOPE. There will likely be many bus accidents today in the world - and especially in Asia because there are 4.5 billion people there. And most of them will not meet criteria for inclusion in an encyclopedia. We are WP:NOTNEWS. Bruxton (talk) 14:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep at this moment per WP:RAPID. More coverage is obviously set to happen. Zakaria ښه راغلاست (talk) 15:17, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a major incident widely covered in in National and international media and as well received condemnation from various national and international leadership. 103.141.159.229 (talk) 08:22, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep per Zakaria1978. 28 is also a big death toll. Dunutubble (talk) (Contributions) 02:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not the news. Yes, it's a tragedy, but we don't cover every every (or even many) vehicle accident. Stifle (talk) 15:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete there is no indication this is a notable bus accident. It was in the news, but that does not mean it was encyclopedically notable. Star   Mississippi  15:47, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete There will be no lasting, significant coverage of this. In five years, the list of sources would be exactly the same as it is now. Therefore, per WP:NOTNEWS, should not have an article. Wes sideman (talk) 13:04, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge to Sherani District.--Ameen Akbar (talk) 15:25, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sherani District. If more coverage comes, fork it back. BTW - I already merged the article there. It's the only thing in the modern history section now, but the article is already heavily tagged, so hopefully someone with an interest in Pakistan can fill in some of the info gaps.
