Doesn't seem to be much US specific. Was going to suggest a merge, but I think all the issues are better covered in Traffic collision and Epidemiology of motor vehicle collisions. Jnthn0898 (talk) 18:53, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete This seems like just another unnecessary localized article. Motor vehicle accidents are pretty much the same no matter where they happen, and this article does little to explain otherwise.  If this survives, I'll be the first to create "Falling in Australia" and "Heart disease in Peru".Cathardic (talk) 19:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Traffic collision. Unless by some miracle another editor finds a reliable source identifying how motor vehicle collisions in the United States are somehow unique from motor vehicle collisions everywhere else in the world, and not just because there are more or less of them.

 * Redirect to Traffic collision. Nothing about the subject is particularly unique to the USA's traffic accidents. Warrah (talk) 22:41, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Traffic collision for the reasons articulated above. --RL0919 (talk) 23:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Delete whichever seems more practical. My initial reaction was that motor vehicle accidents in the US is a notable topic, but really, it's not going to be meaningfully different than accidents in Canada, Europe, etc. Better to make Traffic collision as good as possible (which already seems to be happening) than create a bunch of country specific articles that basically just say the same thing. --Sancho Mandoval (talk) 23:52, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect makes sense, as a plausible search term. I add that, if Traffic Collision gets bloated with country-specific data, then they'll just fork it into country-specific articles. But, for now, a redirect and merge of any worthy content is appropriate. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
