 * Delete Doesn't assert notability; gets almost no hits at all outside of Wikipedia. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Didn't realize name was misspelled. Definitely a notable incident. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: It's no longer a copyvio as the creator has rewritten it and removed the db-copyvio tag. • Anakin (talk) 22:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable. Over 100 miners being killed is significant. References are almost certainly available from newspapers of the time and (probably) books on mine safety, as well as the report to the Home Secretary mentioned in the earlier copyvio version of the article. Lack of Google hits is consistent with the mine having closed more than 100 years ago and does not argue against notability. --Eastmain (talk) 22:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The article's name is incorrect. See http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Park+Slip+Colliery%22& for the search results for the correct spelling, "Park Slip Colliery" --Eastmain (talk) 22:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The site of a major accident and there's lots of sources on the web to substantiate this. The name has been changed to the correct one.  How can a mining disaster which killed over a hundred people not be notable?  Nick mallory (talk) 23:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This looks like notable, and it was a major incident. I think the nom might have thought of it as un-notable, because the name was misspelled. It is notable. See this -  Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  03:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons stated. No longer a copyvio; highly notable subject. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 06:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
