The result was   delete. Per NEWSEVENT, although this event is tragic, I see traffic incidents (commercial bus crashes of similar size in various countries) that do not have standalone articles. Tawker (talk) 21:45, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hub bus-tanker crash

Fails WP:NEVENT, WP:N, and WP:NOT as there's been no long-term impact of this accident and so far has only be a brief burst of news coverage at the time of the event. This is a news event better suited for covering at Wikinews, not a global encyclopedia. Was PROD'd but PROD was removed. M ASEM (t) 14:36, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. 35 deaths is a very notable accident. I really don't think an accident of this magnitude in Britain or North America would even be up for discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Number of deaths is not a metric of notability, and if the same event with the same type of coverage (a burst of stories worldwide and nothing else afterward) occurred in the NA or UK, it would still fail NEVENT. We have Wikinews for the purposes for these types of stories. --M ASEM (t) 15:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. There is no indication this will have any lasting influence. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:57, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NEWSEVENT. As per WP:EVENTCRIT,
 * --Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect. --No historical significance or a significant lasting effect.
 * --Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact. --No International impact.
 * --Events having limited scope may or may not be notable. Yes, limited scope.
 * --Routine kinds of news events are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Yes, Routine kind of news event with no enduring significance.
 * Article simply doesn't satisfy any of the event notability criteria and qualify deletion. Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  00:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
