Glasgow Bellgrove rail accident

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

Insufficient coverage to meet GNG or WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE to meet WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 03:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

 * I would probably keep this one. It did lead to some newspaper coverage not mentioned in our article, such as this. It has also earned passing mentions since, as a fatal accident, these being fortunately rare in modern times.. I'm happy at getting rid of articles on the multitude of "oops bumped into the buffers" accidents that caused no injuries, had no repercussions for rail safety, and were forgotten a week later - not every rail accident is significant - but ones that led to discussions about how rail systems should be run and laid-out, and which caused deaths, are probably notable.

 * Primary newspaper coverage, passing mentions, and causing deaths are all irrelevant to notability. We're only concerned about WP:GNG and WP:NEVENTS. This likely wouldn't have met notability requirements if not for the sources found below. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 17:29, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep This accident was described in detail in (which I no longer have, but fortunately noted down the chapter numbers when I consulted them some years ago). It is the archetypical "ding-ding, and away" accident, a term used by Vaughan. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 20:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have both books, will see what I can do. Mjroots (talk) 07:31, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've done what I can with what I have available. Just a minor bit of referencing required. Mjroots (talk) 10:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep due to the sources found by Redrose. I can't check them myself, so WP:AGF as far as it being WP:SIGCOV that gives detail rather than just describing the sequence of events. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 17:24, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
