[edit] 2006 Rome metro crash

I suggest to merge with Rome Metro and later delete this article, It's a minor event and has little things to be added in the future to the article. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and Delete --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Biased Keep (as article's creator). Event is quite notable (6 on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say, based on consequences (Line A shut down in the middle of rush hour) and media coverage. Would have been 7 to 8 with more casualties.) and more can be added: how exactly did this happen, what will it mean for the Roman metro system, or similar systems in other cities, etcetera. See 2006 Valencia metro accident or Ladbroke Grove rail crash (more notable crashes, I admit) for what can become of this article. If that doesn't come in the next few months, then by all means relist or merge, but I suggest giving this article a chance to grow.

• Strong and Speedy Keep such an incident is very rare and invariable leads to follow-up action of a noteable nature, thus making the incident itself noteworthy. - Blood red sandman 18:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• delete, merge info to 2006 in rail transport. -- Kendrick7 20:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Give it a chance to grow. --G1076 20:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep any event in which 200 people are killed, accident or terrorist attack or whatever, merits its own article. KazakhPol 00:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Fortunately there was only one fatality, while 200 people were injured. Aecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 08:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep event received worldwide coverage, and is (fortunately) a rare occurrence in the urban transport sector. --Nehwyn 04:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. No one's even proposed an outright delete yet, and "merge and delete afterwards" isn't an option (because that would remove the contribution history, which is required by gfdl). If you want to merge, merge (or propose it if you aren't sure it's a good idea). Don't bring it to afd for that. - Bobet 16:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep important enough. Tim! 16:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, agree with Bobet. AfD is not the proper forum. hateless 17:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep This should not be listed on AfD. Generally Wikipedia has substantial coverage of events like this, which I would classify as of interest to a small segment of the population. Squigish 04:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - too soon to judge. See Category:Railway accidents for similar articles of varying quality. Carcharoth 11:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - merging the two would double the size of the parent article, giving the accident too much weight. Also, if the accident results in a real shift in policy, practices, equipmetn, etc, then it becomes even more notable in its own right. --Badger151 21:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
