Tuen Mun Road Rock Fall Accident
A big rock hit a bus in Hong Kong eleven years ago and killed the driver. Non-notable (expect maybe to the driver). Crabapplecove 02:08, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't think of how A7 could apply to road accidents, but perhaps it should be rewritten to cover events that make no claim to notability.  A rock fell on the road, and that's horrible.  Someone died, and that's even worse.  None of it is encyclopedic.  Geogre 02:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable event. -- Kinu t /c  02:45, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, event was not newsworthy on a more-than-local scale. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 02:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, since the event is already mentioned in the Tuen Mun Road page. It doesn't seem like there was any investigation or consequences, so that makes the event nn. SliceNYC 03:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. -- Gogo Dodo 04:08, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. Imagine if people started creating articles for every local traffic accident.  Maybe someone should create Traffikipedia.  ---Charles 21:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If I've not missed something, the accident referenced in the Tuen Mun Road article is a more recent happening, but I'm not at all certain that this accident merits any encyclopedic treatment; if it does, any reference to it in the Tuen Mun Road article would be sufficiently terse and fact-based as to require no GFDL preservation (as against in a merge).

 * Delete per nom. As inclusionist as I am we're not going to build an obituary site... rootology 06:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
