Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moghbazar Blast 2021


 * 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 redirect to 2021 Moghbazar explosion. No consensus to delete 2021 Moghbazar explosion (potentially due to the difficult nature in achieving consensus when lots of participants are talking about there being two separate articles). No prejudice towards an immediate renomination for 2021 Moghbazar explosion. Daniel (talk) 08:33, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: I can see reports by India Today, Dhaka Tribune, The Independent, Al Jazeera and DW (and the unreliable Daily Star) on a glance. That's coverage widespread enough for me to say it passes WP:DIVERSITY. Further, with probe reports coming out in a week's time, I think that WP:PERSISTENCE may be met too.

 * That said, "Moghbazar Blast 2021" should be redirected to "2021 Moghbazar explosion".  Java Hurricane  02:41, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: I recommend to delete beacuse it is not useful and it is not necessary and in many countries this event were not heard by the people.(Fade258 (talk) 08:57, 1 July 2021 (UTC))
 * The same is true of many, if not most, events that otherwise would still pass NEVENT.  Java Hurricane  13:17, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * keep per JavaHurricane —MdsShakil (talk) 10:54, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

 * delete Moghbazar Blast 2021, leaning delete for 2021 Moghbazar explosion We do not need two articles on this no matter what, and the first is poorly named and contains less info. As to the second, this is WP:NOTNEWS territory: it's typically impossible to know only a few days after an event like this whether it's going to have any lasting impact. This perhaps stands a somewhat higher chance of long term notice, but I'm still dubious. Mangoe (talk) 14:41, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment -- To clarify, of course it received coverage when it first happened; it was a blast of unknown origin that killed people. But as soon as foul play was ruled out, it is just another tragic accident in a third world country which will have no lasting impact, no lasting interest, no sustained coverage.We can discuss the notability of the topic without worrying about individual articles. If it's a keep, they will be merged, so AFD doesn't need to choose one. If it's a delete, both will be deleted. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:22, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete both. They illustrate why we shouldn't rush to create articles based on breaking news. It's too early to tell whether the gas explosion will have enduring historical significance or a significant lasting effect, but based on similar past events it seems unlikely. The explosion had narrow geographic impact. It has been widely reported in national sources, and to a lesser degree in international ones, but with little or no analysis. It's too early to tell whether the explosion will receive further coverage. At present it does not meet WP:NEVENTS. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. If editors want to write about the explosion, they are welcome to rework the text for Wikinews, with a soft redirect from Wikipedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per JavaHurricane. ~Yahya ( ✉ )
 * Merge OR delete the article 2021 Moghbazar explosion talks about the exact same topic, and the event isn't big enough to have seperate articles of the same thing, therefore I think that this and the other article should be merged, if this isn't possible then I would suggest deleting both.
