Causing deaths and being reported in the news do not confer notability, and high-casualty bus crashes are common. Fails WP:EVENT. Unable to find sustained significant coverage. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 20:15, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking at Health in Nepal#Road traffic accidents, over 10,000 people were killed in auto crashes in Nepal in just an 8 year period. Unless someone wants to compile a list of the most notable crashes, and set a notability threshold for fatalities, this standalone article isn't what the encyclopedia is for.

Keep. While fatalities in traffic accident is common, death of 33 people in single accident is not a common event, so keep. nirmal (talk) 07:25, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Per WP:NOTNEWS 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. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated. 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 per the above.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
