The result was   merge to Beresfield railway station. The strongest arguments about having a separate article reflect discussions of WP:EVENT, and show a consensus against. No strong argument was made against including some material at the station, nor the creation of a redirect. j⚛e deckertalk 17:48, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete It's sad that four people were injured as a result of this accident (three of them seriously), but it has not had lasting significance. Nick-D (talk) 10:42, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Just because there were no deaths does not mean that the accident isnt notable. Sure, death give weight to the case for notability, but they are not a requirement. That said, the main reason that the accident is notable enough to sustain an article is that it resulted in a change of procedure by the train operator. Mjroots (talk) 19:37, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete A change in procedures by a single regional operator is not a significant lasting effect per WP:EVENT. National industry-wide changes would be, but almost every accident report produces some local recommendation. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:38, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to Beresfield. Lamberhurst (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge as above (to Beresfield railway station). I struck out my delete because it's already discussed in the railway station article so merge or at least redirect is best. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:38, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Beresfield_railway_station,_New_South_Wales. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:02, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
