This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Transportation. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Transportation|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Transportation. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

1993 Camp Ripley mid-air collision (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

This accident whilst potentially notable has very little for an article of its own. A quick Google search lists a few potentially usable sources, however it still isn't much. This one for example looks to be passable (I am unfamiliar with the site in general however). I think the most appropriate course of action for this article would be a redirect to a relevant section of the main Camp Ripley article. 11WB (talk) 17:25, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article I linked above (and the one I linked by mistake before that, which I switched) contain nothing more than passing mentions. I think this strengthens the arguments for a redirect. 11WB (talk) 17:29, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Causing deaths and being reported in the news do not confer notability, and high-casualty bus crashes are common. Fails WP:EVENT. Per WP:NOPAGE, this is better covered at List of traffic collisions (2000–present) or a brief mention in the history section of Al Ain if this is truly a historical event.

  • Delete Can't find any coverage past February 2013, even when searching in Arabic (using combinations of ٱلْعَيْن حادث حافلة في فبراير 2013). High fatality bus accidents seem to be unfortunately common in the UAE, and I can't see anything that would set this one apart or give it a greater WP:IMPACT than the others.

  • Delete no WP:SUSTAINED coverage, seems like routine news coverage at the time. jolielover♥talk 06:33, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - another saddening road traffic accident :( There was more coverage than has been mentioned as there was at least one court case 1 and 2 and further coverage one year later 3 and two years later 4. There's likely more in non-English sources. Mass casualty events of this kind are highly unlikely to be non-notable. JMWt (talk) 07:09, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Full disclaimer: The National sources are locked out to me. That being said, well, it's The National. The state-owned newspaper of Abu Dhabi, described in our own article as a "mouthpiece" of the government and known for heavy censorship of their own content. They've even fired journalists who write about the UAE's human right abuses against migrant workers[5] (said journalist was soon after deported from the country). Given that this crash had the potential to impact international relations, and the victims were workers from SEA, I'm disputing this source's reliability in this topic area. Court case story is better, but there's lots of court cases every year that result in payouts being given to the families of deceased workers. I'd like to see something more than a news story from the time of the case stating that it happened.
    And speaking of saddening road accidents in UAE, here's [6] another mass casulty bus crash in the same neighborhood from just a few years ago. 24 people had died as of the printing of that story. Here's more from the UAE in general from just the past few years [7][8][9][10]. These are unfortunately much too common. Also looked for sources in Bengali; am unable to find any, though I also kept finding more stories about different accidents in the same neighborhood that killed Bangladeshi workers [11]. It really really sucks that these are so common but they are. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 08:04, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok well that's all likely true but that doesn't mean that they are exaggerating about a traffic accident. Whichever way we look at it, a lot of people died and it would be a major story almost anywhere in the world.
    I'd be more comfortable if we could redirect to a List of road traffic accidents in Abu Dhabi rather than a nonsense global list, but given that it doesn't exist then for me it is still a !keep. JMWt (talk) 08:14, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An exact replica of this plane crash was back in 2017 same result and same plane model; 2017 Essendon Airport Beechcraft King Air crash. As I said but I also want to hear from other experienced Wikipedian editors on what they think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megabyte21 (talkcontribs) 08:33, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've provided some information about previous aviation articles below that were created very quickly, followed by a swift AfD. This one falls into the same WP:DELAY category. 11WB (talk) 16:10, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    How can you claim it is An exact replica of this plane crash was back in 2017 same result and same plane model; 2017 Essendon Airport Beechcraft King Air crash? The investigation has obly just begun and hasnt reached a single conclusion about probably cause. Sure there are some obvious similarities, but an encyclopedia needs to be based on facts not speculation. Dfadden (talk) 20:36, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This incident likely resulted in many fatalities, probably in the double-digits and shut down a major airport. Because of that, this article is notable and it does not fall under point 4. Cyrobyte (talk) 07:40, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify and Redirect. WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON might be worth considering here. The event literally just happened, there's no way of knowing whether or not this will have any lasting coverage or wider impact. As of right now it's a tragic accident that may, or may not, have sufficient coverage in the upcoming weeks and months to justify a standalone article. Send it to draft now for incubation, and put a redirect to London Southend Airport#Accidents and incidents in the meantime. nf utvol (talk) 12:48, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment to closer. There appears to be a raft of "Keep" comments that are nothing more than votes, or do not make any policy-based arguments and are not substantially different from the examples listed in WP:ATA. nf utvol (talk) 12:55, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      I concur with the above. Also, many of the arguments in favour of keeping are grounded entirely in recentism, which while well intentioned, seems to lack informed consideration of content policies based on existing consensus. Dfadden (talk) 13:30, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This is a very notable event as there has been significant worldwide news coverage on this aviation accident (not just on UK news). Think of the helicopter that crashed in Manhattan earlier this year. Although it was a flight with only a few passengers, it still gained significant news coverage. This one is the same as this. Prothe1st (talk) 12:53, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Almost all aviation accidents get news coverage, often worldwide especially if there are fatalities, with a burst of coverage in the immediate aftermath of the accident, and maybe another burst when the accident investigation report is issued. But Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Light aircraft crashes very rarely get any WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE beyond that initial news cycle, and it is equally rare to see any WP:LASTING effects (such as changes to aircraft or airport procedures). The article can always be recreated if such continued coverage or lasting effects do occur. But in the meantime, this crash clearly falls under WP:EVENTCRIT#4: Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents [...]) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. Rosbif73 (talk) 06:31, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    As of right now, london southend airport is still closed and will remain closed “until further notice” according to news reports. It has been two days since it’s happened and this crash clearly affects a lot of people such as those travelling or returning to/from holiday from this airport by airlines like easyjet. Also is going to cost easyjet quite a bit of money. So that is also why it further gives this event additional enduring significance to make it a notable event. Also if you read some of the other comments, you can see that someone said it’s the deadliest aviation accident in the uk since the helicopter crash in 2018 in Leicester, and also the deadliest airplane crash since the plane crash in shoreham. Prothe1st (talk) 12:09, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Closure of a relatively minor airport for a few days, and the associated short-term impact on passengers and airlines, are unimportant with regard to notability. Imagine yourself 10 years from now when assessing their importance. Likewise, being the deadliest accident since the last deadlier one is not in itself indicative of notability! Rosbif73 (talk) 12:32, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Notable incident, four confirmed dead and airport closed for two days. Lots of significant news coverage. Definitely passes WP:GNG. This is Paul (talk) 13:13, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Unsure of the policy on this, but the article in question is now called Zeusch Aviation Flight 1. I am unable to comment on notability yet as this article was only created today and then subsequently nominated for deletion 90 minutes later. (Similar occurrences happened here, here and here). I think WP:DELAY should apply to those 3 examples and this AfD. 11WB (talk) 14:45, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    As the crash took place less than 12 hours ago, and the article name has changed, along with information being updated regularly, I have added the recentevent tag to the article to reflect this. I think this should be the case going forward for articles created so soon after the event. 11WB (talk) 14:51, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed that it should follow WP:DELAY, which says It is recommended that editors start a section about the event within an existing article on a related topic if possible, which may later be split into its own article if the coverage suggests that the event is independently notable. This should be a merge to London Southend Airport. An article about an event should not have its own article until there is sustained secondary coverage, which it definitely does not at this point. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 15:27, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
*I second this. Redirect (as the information is already there) to London Southend Airport#Accidents and incidents for the time being, until a clear need for a standalone article is shown. 11WB (talk) 16:06, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Having read the newer comments for keep below, I am reconsidering my vote. I think in this instance I will withdraw my vote for redirection and change it to keep based on @Harrz's point regarding this being the most deadly UK aviation accident since the 2018 Leicester helicopter crash. 11WB (talk) 04:36, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree with you, especially since there are other similar light aircraft crashes with their own article:
WittypediaEditor (talk) 18:22, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@WittypediaEditor: The existence of other articles is no reason to keep or delete this article. Take a look at WP:WHATABOUT, which covers this in more depth. Either way, in the first two articles you mentioned, they exhibited a level of sustained coverage that lends notability to their subjects. The third should probably be brought to AfD for failing to have sustained coverage (all the coverage that is referenced appears to be from the day of or day after the crash, save for the final investigation report which was released a year later). nf utvol (talk) 14:31, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep: I think it is too early to decide since it just happened. It has got a lot of attention for crashing at a major airport. On the other hand, only 4 people died, and it was a smaller aircraft. I don't think anybody famous was onboard. But I am still split on whether this should get deleted or not. Zaptain United (talk) 20:30, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The article was created rapidly. Whilst I think the accident will likely be notable eventually, at the moment it's definitely too early to rely on preliminary reporting for an entire article. 11WB (talk) 20:35, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: definitely notable - being reported worldwide, shut down an international airport indefinitely and there will definitely be lasting coverage as there is an ongoing investigation and this is the deadliest aviation accident in the UK since 2018 (Leicester), the deadliest plane crash in the UK since 2015 (Shoreham) and the deadliest commercial plane crash in the UK since 2008 or 1999 (Biggin Hill or Glasgow - not sure); some of those may be incorrect, if so I am sorry! harrz talk 00:09, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Osarius 22:23, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Significant crash, closed the airport for two days, and four dead. This is not a minor news story, it has been reported internationally; WP:NOTNEWS does not apply. Also keep per Harrz's comment about this being the most deadly UK aviation accident since 2018. Cagliost (talk) 10:21, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with you. Szymondro1123 (talk) 11:25, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The article was only recently created less than a week ago and there aren't that much citations right now but when there are more citations, it might be worth to keep this article. 2A0A:EF40:5BD:C501:A4D0:1AFF:FE05:7D0F (talk) 14:00, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep or Draftify An important airport closure for 2 days it’s not a normal thing on aviation accidents, but I’m still not sure about WP:LASTING (thinking about that is WP:CRYSTAL), but for right now, Im fine with a weak keep, Im going to see the coverage of this like a month later to see if it passes WP:LASTING. Protoeus (talk) 18:26, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete No relevant sources since a week ago, fails WP:LASTING. Protoeus (talk) 13:27, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, but likely Redirect to a list later. I reviewed the Notability Essays based on the arguments presented above and it seems to me that small accidents fall close to the edge of notability. WP:EVENTCRITERIA clearly states that routine news events (including most accidents) are not notable unless something gives them enduring significance. This article, and most articles like it, don't have overt enduring significance. The reason I think that's close to the edge of notability is because I value the overall sum of accident information. I think they are notable in concert. However, my personal beliefs are insufficient criteria for keeping, and the essays seem to say that articles which are only useful in concert with other articles are more appropriately aggregated in lists. Therefore, I believe this article may as well be kept for the time being to let its significance play out, but if nothing changes it must eventually be redirected to an appropriate list. There's a lot of similar articles that need this treatment, as well. -Baltarstar (talk) 12:48, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My understanding is that an article must be notable NOW in order to be kept: we can't guess today whether the subject will become notable at some point in the future. If additional factors giving an event enduring significance come to light later, a deleted article can always be recreated. Rosbif73 (talk) 13:11, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - small GA aircraft, no wikinotable people involved. This can be adequately covered at the article on London Southend Airport. Mjroots (talk) 12:10, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep this article - it's a commercial aircraft which suffered a whole loss and killed all occupants aboard. For the people saying delete, then please delete all of the incidents and accidents involving caravans etc. to keep your argument consistent. The ACFT involved is a MEA. Furthermore, its occupants consisted of both pax. and crew. Deleting this article makes no sense. I recommend strongly keeping it.
    Cheers. Captain N334AA (talk) 05:14, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That's all good and well, but on what WP:POLICY are you making that argument? Are you able to provide sources that indicate sustained significant coverage of the event? If not, then why shouldn't this should be draftified until coverage exists, with a redirect to the airport's accidents and incidents page in the meantime? nf utvol (talk) 14:34, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to London Southend Airport#Accidents and incidents as an alternative to deletion per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT – Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

PROD failed, so here goes nothing. I see no way of de-stubbing this article, because the subject isn't really notable. Sure, they may still be a part of several databooks that cover all ropeways in Japan, but I wouldn't take that as enough to justify the article's existence. There are a ton of passing mentions if I search "旭岳ロープウェイ", as the mountain seems pretty popular as a sightseeing spot.

  • Keep. A completely unsupportable RFD that seems to have been made with no consideration of WP:BEFORE. This is one of a comprehensive series of articles covering the legal restrictions imposed on the public during the pandemic in England. Like all such regulations, the restrictions attracted considerable critical commentary at the time, and were widely covered by the press. The regulations were the basis of several thousand prosecutions, and were contentious not least because of a perceived risk of disabled people being unfairly targeted.
Simply by typing the title into Google, it's a trivial matter to pull out multiple independent sources that discuss the regulations or their effects in detail. I found the following literally in 5 minutes, and there are many more:

No evidence of sustained coverage and lasting effect. Event fails both WP:LASTING and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE: no deep analysis or discussion on the accident occurred after it happened, and no evidence of a lasting impact (like reforms in PH transportation, reforms in the municipal government etc.) that would warrant the event inclusion as an article.

All the coverage is from September 2013. No lasting impact or coverage to meet WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 00:53, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sheppey Crossing#Incidents. There actually is continued coverage (See this 2015 journal article [22] and this brief mention [23], bunch of news articles up through 2025 [24][25][26][27]), but that's only going to let me add a paragraph or two to the crash article. Also, given the crash article is mostly already largely duplicative of the incidents section in the main bridge article, and with a nod to WP:NOPAGE, I think coverage of the crash works better in the main article on the bridge. That being said, if the bridge article gets too busy, then we can always spin the crash article back out at a later date, as I do think it squeaks past NEVENT.

Despite the name of this article, the topic is a short part of an expressway that flips sides. I can't find any sources on this topic that would qualify for WP:GNG. Second, there is a geographical feature with this name. But while there appear to be several scattered mentions of this pass in government documents and in hiking guides detailing trails in the area, I can find no sources that would pass GNG (and WP:SIGCOV in particular). Any useful info here can/should be merged into Interstate 8 in Arizona (edited to Interstate 8 § Yuma to Casa Grande per Liz's comment below). Ed [talk] [OMT] 04:44, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This article has the potential to become notable with enough coverage. However, it should be merged into Interstate 8 in Arizona for the time being. WiinterU 05:10, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This intro article was one on a series of passes with the understanding more details of the area would be added. Sadly, Wikipedia lost many of the editors that were doing such. While the pass itself is of minor interest, the surrounding area is notable enough. Thus with a little additional writing, instead of deleting, to include information around the pass - by the same name - should resolve the WP:GNG issue. Below are a few secondary examples of the area from Google. See the talk page of the article for more suggestions. Jrcrin001 (talk) 16:48, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jrcrin001: A few points. First, this article is about the highway segment. Things nearby may be interesting, but they do not speak to the notability of this topic. Second, none of the sources you provided below (which I've placed into {{cot}} for readability) meet the requirements set out at the reliable sources and general notability guidelines. Things like personal hiking reviews, Tripadvisor, Yelp, Waze driving directions, and a local screen printing store's advertisement(?) are not reliable and do not prove notability under Wikipedia's definition. Last, I'd encourage you to collate your own comments instead of using a LLM (see WP:AITALK). Ed [talk] [OMT] 18:30, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Edit to add: it's possible that there are enough sources out there for an article on Hiking in Arizona. E.g. this speaks specifically to Yuma County, there are general books on hiking in Arizona, we already have Hiking in Connecticut, and there's several articles on individual trails in Arizona. But I'm still not seeing anything that warrants an article on this highway segment. Ed [talk] [OMT] 18:36, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So "Telegraph Pass (Arizona)" deletion discussion must only only discuss the notability of a highway pass? The popular "Telegraph Pass" hiking trail must then be ignored? The geographical issues "Telegraph Pass" must also be ignored?
By changing the focus to the name of "Telegraph Pass (Arizona)" and including the two subjects in addition to the highway pass, may make the article more interesting and notable enough? If not, then delete ALL the highway pass type articles. OR Make a suggestion to the transportation crowd to create one article for all passes along a highway route. Something like "Interstate 8 - Passes". Jrcrin001 (talk) 23:43, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, unlike some station articles this one does have at least some citations to reliable sources. Unfortunately all the ones to newspapers are about the construction and opening of the metro line, and are not about the station. The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd citation contains good information about the lifts and escalators available and other station facilities - but the Wikipedia article makes little use of this. The one positive feature of the Wikipedia article is the infobox - with its little street map, photograph, concise information, the best case for keeping the article is the infobox.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:39, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Just a dude from earth: I have found independent sources that are just about the metro station,[28][29][30] and also one with a small but interesting mention of the station.[31] There might be a good case for keeping this article if more can be found.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:51, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The concerns regarding a perceived lack of in-depth coverage specific to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport - T1 metro station have been actively addressed. I have recently added a new section. This new content demonstrates the station's distinct notability, moving beyond general metro line construction news and providing dedicated, verifiable information about its function and importance within the Mumbai public transport network. As a critical gateway to one of India's busiest airports, it is highly probable that over time, the station will naturally garner increased independent media attention regarding its operations, passenger experience, and any future developments or events, further solidifying its long-term notability. Maintaining this article allows for the organic growth of verifiable information as the station continues to serve a vital role.
