March 2008 Manhattan construction crane collapse

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The only things encyclopedic about this collapse are the causes, resulting deaths, and subsequent lawsuits, all of which already exists in 303 East 51st Street (in fact, the lede in this article is an exact duplicate of that section). The rest of the article is unsourced, trivial garbage (seriously, no one researching this accident would give a damn about what buildings were slightly damaged or evacuated or what streets had to be closed during the clean up). I do not see a need to have separate articles about the building and accident unless substantially more information about either can be found, which I doubt will happen since most of the lawsuits filed in the aftermath of the collapse have been settled. I am also nominating the following related pages because they are two agencies that have no notability other than their involvement in the crane collapse (searching them on any search engine only comes up with their websites, yellow pages, or articles related to the accident)

 * Redirect to the 303 East 51st Street article as a plausable search term.  Lugnuts  And the horse 09:24, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Favelle Favco seems to be notable; more results can be found by searching without "Group", which doesn't appear to be part of its official name. Peter&#160;James (talk) 20:24, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
