Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Events
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Events. 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:
- 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.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Events|~~~~}} 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 Events. 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.

Delete per WP:NOT § NEWS. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of news material. Many events receive coverage in the news and yet are not of historic or lasting importance. And there is no WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, as evidenced by the dates of the sources used in the article. Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article.

- Delete: I only get hits on multiple Duck Boat accidents, nothing about this particular event. Interesting piece of trivia, nothing for notability though. There is no lasting coverage, only some from the time of the event. Oaktree b (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

WP:HOAX and a devious one considering the subject matter and source falsification involved.
First off, the article today[1] is virtually identical to the version created on 26 February 2017 by User:DJ Sturm with two edits, second as IP [2][3]. DJ Sturm is globally locked by stewards for "Cross-wiki abuse".[4]
Massacre of 83 Jews literally in the middle of Tallinn in 1941 should have been fairly noteworthy event in context of Holocaust in Estonia, but google, google scholar, and google books gave no relevant results which didn't seem to originate back to his article.
Breakdown of source falsification:
- Hillgruber, Andreas (1989). "War in the East and the Extermination of the Jews". In Marrus, Michael (ed.). Part 3, The "Final Solution": The Implementation of Mass Murder, Volume 1. The Nazi Holocaust. Westpoint, CT: Meckler. pp. 85–114. ISBN 0-88736-266-4., p. 98. - Hillgruber's article can be seen online here. It makes no mention of this massacre. Stahlecker is only mentioned once regarding Riga.
- Haakristi haardes.Tallinn 1979, p. 84 - It can be viewed in digitized form in certain Estonian libraries, so I took a look and again has nothing to do the article's subject or text.
- Merila, Toomas (1999). The Holocaust in Estonia. Tallinn: Varrak, p. 77., p. 79. - Fake book. Can't be found on Woldcat, Google Books, or Ester (Estonian online library catalogue). Only Toomas Merila who pops up is sports coach.
- Quoted in Eugenia Gurin-Loov, Holocaust of Estonian Jews 1941, Eesti Juudi Kogukond, Tallinn 1994: pg. 194 - Book itself does not seem to be fully available in digital form, but it can be seen that pp 178-214, which includes "cited" pg. 194, should be lists of victims[5][6], and are actually available in some form here [7][8] which does not match in any way text it is used as source for, so taking everything account, safe to say that another fake reference.
- Nuremberg Military Tribunal, Einsatzgruppen trial, Judgment, at page 209, quoting exhibit NO-2688. - Einsatzgruppen trial records can be seen here. While there are plenty of mentions for Stahlecker and Estonia, none of them mention the massacre or match text in the article. "exhibit NO-2688" does not exist.
- "Report Phase II: The German Occupation of Estonia 1941–1944" (PDF). Estonian International Commission for Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity. 1998. Archived from the original (PDF) on 2011-07-20. Retrieved 2017-02-26. - Again no mention of the massacre. In source Jägala camp is not mentioned in the context of killing local Jews in 1941, but instead then talking about foreign Jews brought into Estonia from 1942 onwards.
Finally I did a little search on what actual historians who have investigated the Holocaust in Estonia have written about this period, and again their descriptions completely contradict the idea of large public massacre in middle of Tallinn.

The Estonian case poses a challenge to the generally accepted view of how the Holocaust was carried out in Eastern Europe. Unlike in Latvia and Lithuania, there were no anti-Jewish pogroms or ghettos; no death squads staffed and sometime managed by natives, like the Arājs Commando in Latvia or the Hamann Commando in Lithuania. The daylong mass executions of Jews at the IX Fort in Kaunas or Rumbula near Riga did not happen in Estonia until a year later. Due to fierce Soviet resistance, roughly two-thirds of Estonia’s Jews managed to escape to Russia in the summer of 1941. The remaining one thousand or so Jews were apprehended by the Estonian Security Police, which conducted a pseudolegal investigation into each individual case. Thus, Estonia was spared the atrocities and public humiliation that accompanied the Nazi mass murder of Jews in other East European countries. Most Estonians, if they bothered to think of it at all, believed that justice had been served and that the executed Jews were punished for a reason. |

As in Tartu and Pärnu, also in Tallinn the arrests of the Jews started immediately after the conquest of the city by the German troops. The lists of the individuals to be arrested, including Jews, were prepared in Tartu already prior to conquering Tallinn. Within three days from the conquest of Tallinn on 28 August the Omakaitse had already arrested 42 “Jewish communists”, 182 members of the destruction battalions, and 150 “other suspicious persons”. Most likely the orders of arrest had been issued by the German military authorities and not by the Security Police and SD. These orders made the Estonian policeman responsible for the arrest of the male Jews. The male Jews were first sent to the political police or to the local police station. Already then they were kept separately from other prisoners. After some days the prisoners were transferred to the Tallinn Central Prison. In the course of the transfer, the Jews were separated from the Estonians and placed in separate cells. |

- 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)
- 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)
- 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)- 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)
- 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!

- 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)
- Comment: This seems to have been moved since the afd discussion was created. This is Paul (talk) 13:19, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
*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)- 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)
- Redirect to London Southend Airport#Accidents and incidents. Light aircraft crashes are rarely notable and there are no reasons to suspect this one will be. Usual caveats apply: in the unlikely event that we do see significant sustained coverage beyond the initial news cycle, or other notability factors come to light, it would be possible to recreate an article at that time. Rosbif73 (talk) 16:19, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Although it may look like it isn't notable, it is since 4 people are dead, and London Southend Airport had to close for 2 days. Another thing is that the article was just recently created, give it some time! Subbie2010 (talk) 17:50, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: It occurred to me that this could, or maybe should, have been created in WikiNews – but I could not find this event reported there. On balance, since this article already exists, I vote to keep – at least for now and we can revisit notability at a later date, after the accident report has been submitted. While other fatal aircraft accidents may not (yet) have their own Wiki page, I am sympathetic to having Wiki pages for such fatal aircraft accidents as a balanced and independent repository of records of such events.
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

WP:NOTNEWS. Point 4 of WP:EVENTCRITERIA - Routine kinds of news events (including most accidents) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable. This is a forgettable incident that only has article because it happened on the same day as Jeju Air Flight 2216 and PAL Airlines Flight 2259. Zaptain United (talk) 03:05, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- I actually wanted to keep this article at first but then I realized that it was a minor incident with no sustain coverage passed the initial reporting. When the preliminary report came out, there was basically no reporting of it. That honestly shows that no news website is willing to report on a minor incident. It shows that even when the final report comes out, there will be no coverage of it. This clearly only got a Wikipedia article because it conveniently happened at the same time as a major crash and a minor accident. I am not against redirecting it, but it is clearly not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Zaptain United (talk) 03:13, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep WP:NOTNEWS is misinterpreted here as it discourages day to day news and transient events and topics without ensuring relevance however the attack was a significant one as it was conducted in the territory of Myanmar.With the reference of historical significance, articles like the 2015 Indian counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar exists which initially started off as news based but later evolved to standalone historical events. A change in the article name might be a topic of discussion if needed
- Legion of Liberty (talk) 20:30, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hmmm the article name should be changed cause this isn’t Myanmar vs India.. But the fact that India didn't claim they attacked ULFA-I camps makes it difficult to keep the naming and harms neutrality. 2015 Indian counter-insurgency operation in Myanmar was a confirmed operation by India. Where as this one was clearly denied.
- But clearly I see this topic won't last longer than 3 days, irrelevent as days passes unless it leads to something big soon which is unlikely. WinKyaw (talk) 05:42, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- There are other examples of such cross border attacks like 2024 Iranian missile strikes in Pakistan , where Pakistan wasn't the target rather the baloch militants inside it so that might be a more accurate type of name that can be applied to this article and for the second point made , Operation Outside the Box this attack which was made by Isarel on Syria was denied by Israel until 2018 , so wikipedia doesn't require offical confirmation for the coverage of an well covered incident by sources of different medias , as WP:V and WP:NPV.
- An cross border strike by a nuclear armed state which is again seen after the last major strikes 10 years ago definitely hails notability and even if it vanishes from the headlines , in future the people who revisit the article for info and also as per WP:NEVENT if a event recieves non-insufficient coverage in multiple reliable sources , then it proves the notability as well. I'm ready to negotiate the article name. Legion of Liberty (talk) 10:57, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

- If that is the case then there are several drone strike articles available on wiki despite having a lower notability than this event. Such an example is - 2025 Waziristan drone strike.An covert cross border strike is notable enough if it is covered by several medias as far less notable drone strike articles are available on wiki. Legion of Liberty (talk) 03:42, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete or Draftify: agree that this is WP:TOOSOON to determine. Most other events like this are just additions to existing articles like Spillover of the Myanmar civil war (2021-present), or United Liberation Front of Assam. It's possible it becomes significant but as far as I can tell all the sources are covering the same routine details EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 22:55, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- It is not necessary that different stories get mentioned in different medias however what is necessary is the coverage of the incident WP:SIGCOV.The incident is not a regular crime or Insurgency incident instead it involves a "not regular" cross border strike. India does not strike locations in Myanmar daily.The incident is not a spill over of the Myanmar civil war either and WP:SUMMARYSTYLE notes that a notable subtopic can be a article. This event has greater notability than 2025 Waziristan drone strike where such incidents are far more common than the ones here however they still survive on the notability of Wikipedia so I think this article can do the same with higher notability than them.

Non-notable accident. All that happened is the airport closed for 90 minutes. This is a pretty common occurrence throughout Canada and I can, if required give several examples, one that affected former prime minister Stephen Harper ("CADORS report for Kenn Borek (GKBP)". Transport Canada.).
While Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents, in particular (Airline and airport articles, is just advice on what should be included it is a reasonable guide to inclusion. There is no indication in the article that the accident meets any of the guidelines. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 15:29, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:NEVENT given the complete absence of continued coverage or lasting impact on anybody. There was a rough landing, and it was slightly dramatic, but nothing I'd expect to be even worth mentioning a few months after the accident. All the coverage is WP:ROUTINE, and (best I can see) didn't even continue into 2025. I don't see a point in even mentioning this at the PAL Airlines, where the information is present but tagged for being undue. I also don't see a point in mentioning it at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, where it's mentioned in a sentence. (IMO both mentions should be removed, but I won't do that while the AfD in in progress) GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 16:37, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- About any mention in 2025, I think it is clear that if the Transportation Safety Board of Canada released any news about it, it will be mentioned again. I agree with you that I failed the Wikipedia notability, but I also agree with User:SportingFlyer that, like I said, it will be mentioned again when it is newsworthy. As they're still investigating, I think we should wait until they finally released their report, and see how the media react. Ohok12 (talk) 17:44, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, the incident itself is absolutely newsworthy, and you're quite right that there will likely be some, limited, coverage when the final report gets released. But Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. To keep this article, I'd want sources some distance from the event itself that analyse the impact it had on the world. So sort of beyond an "X government released Report Y that said the accident was caused by Z". What does the accident mean for the world? Did it cause any major changes in laws or regulations, did it kill several notable people did it have implications for international relations, did it achieve any form of cultural significance? A simple incident like this... they don't typically tend to get sources that give that sort of coverage. Never say never, of course, but this particular incident wasn't intentional, nobody died and the newspapers lost interest very quickly. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 22:04, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

- I would say that I can’t compare this with fully-investigated cases, as the TSBC didn’t release any piece of information about this, we cannot ensure is this REALLY unnoticeable or not. In addition, I don’t think this just some minor incident, as with that said, JetBlue Flight 292 and Air Serbia Flight 324 should also be minor incidents. However, like you have said, I agree with you that this has no sustain coverage and also I didn’t have any information about it since December 2024. With the fact that this is Wikipedia:NOTNEWS, it is apparent that your statement is valid in most of the points. Ohok12 (talk) 10:03, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Honestly it's probably time for a broader discussion of what makes an air crash notable as more important incidents don't lead to the complete loss of the aircraft. I don't think this quite reaches the bar yet but there also hasn't been a final investigation. SportingFlyer T·C 10:24, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Per WP:NEVENT,
An event is presumed to be notable if it has lasting major consequences or affects a major geographical scope, or receives significant non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope.
Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:37, 14 July 2025 (UTC)- With that said, it still kinda have some question about it, Example:
- - When comparing Flight 2259 and Flight 324, they popularity were the same. The difference is that Flight 2259 was more serious than Flight 324. I don’t know do you agree with that, but that just my opinion.
- - There were literal crashes (such as Azimuth flight A45051, Red Air Flight 203) were considered as “unnotable” while some incidents (such as AS Flight 2059, Ryanair 4978, Delta Flight 89) were known as notable. It makes a paradox that some unusual, but minor issues were notable, and serious issues were not noticeable. In my opinion, like User:SportingFlyer has said, we should make a discussion whether a plane incident is notable. Ohok12 (talk) 11:37, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- WP:NEVENT is incredibly ambiguous about these airline incident edge cases, hence the need for a discussion. SportingFlyer T·C 12:02, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Just a question, how is WP:NEVENT ambiguous for events like this? Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:49, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Examples:
- - Delta Air Lines Flight 89, I don't see any long-lasting impact for this incident (like no one died, the media found it no more newsworthy, it just like a silly mistake though having the expert response)
- - CommutAir Flight 4933, I don't know why is this approved to be page as is just a normal incident (like overshooting the runway is the thing that many of us saw, though it was written off)
- - JetBlue Flight 191, until now, I don't why is it still count as the plane wasn't damaged, only having personal impact
- I think this is enough to see the confusion of the Wikipedia:Notability (events). If it isn't because of it, then it may be the Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents. Ohok12 (talk) 16:18, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- I think it is because there is sustain coverage in JetBlue Flight 191 and CommutAir Flight 4933. Delta Air Lines Flight 89 is an article I am confused managed to stayed up because it has no sustain coverage and there seems to be no long-term impact. But there were 3 AFDs which said to keep the article. That one at least got a lot more media attention to this one here. Zaptain United (talk) 21:08, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Aviationwikiflight: It's ambiguous because at most AfDs, what's important is the type of coverage something receives. With air crashes, people interpret the overall significance of the event, which is more subjective and is leading to odd results, especially as more . "It can't be notable because no one died, it was just a hull loss, nothing changed as a result of the crash, et cetera." Aer Lingus Flight 328 is a good example of this - in that incident a plane actually crashed, had coverage for years afterwards pre-internet, and wasn't kept, but Delta Air Lines Flight 89 has been kept three times (I've !voted keep twice, but neither of them were purely policy based) in spite of only having apparently a couple weeks of coverage.

- Nowdays, I cannot understand how normalised plane crashes are being. I have to deal with two nominated pages so far (the second one is KLM Flight 1204, but this one has a fair number of reasons to be deleted or to be a draft). This really need to be discuss like can anybody sure that the pages we've all been creating really noticeable? Are every fatal crashes really noticeable (like accident in aviation is too common right now). Did the crash got back its recognition after the report. This really needs explanation. Ohok12 (talk) 01:55, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, I can see some inconsistency in non-fatal accidents having articles but for this accident there has not been any sustain coverage since December. I know there is no report for any new site to write about, but they could do some retrospective reporting by interviewing a passenger or just reflecting back on it. This was reported on for literally two days.  Zaptain United (talk) 03:18, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

- As the author of this page, I don't disagree with the fact that this incident didn't meet 100% of the Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents, so many experienced editor wants to delete this page. For me:
- Though I do want to keep this page, but if it because of the community good, I agree to delete this page or making it as a draft.
- I'm also an inexperienced editor, which can made many mistakes during the creation.
- Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that I want to delete this page:
- The Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aircraft accidents and incidents describe very vaguely about notable incident.
- This is an undergoing-investigating case, so we can't sure whether this is really a normal incident or a serious incident.
- With that, I think we should create a talk page or a discussion to sort out normal incident and notable incident.

- Hi, I see you've copied the text of the article to Draft:PAL Airlines Flight 2259. There are several problems with that:
- Drafts are intended as temporary storage for likely future articles, and will ultimately be deleted if not "promoted" to articles; see WP:DRAFT for details..
- Copy-and-paste moves do not preserve the edit history of the page, which would be necessary for attribution should you ever attempt to move the text back to mainspace, as explained at WP:ATTREQ.
- You've preempted the results of this deletion discussion, contrary to WP:DRAFTNO #2.

So clearly the case is notable enough to merit a page and it is not a case of WP:RECENTISM.

- Keep: As per WP:NEVENT. Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources. Accident which caused 32 deaths is not something that always happen. It was also discussed throughout the nation well as indicated by the sources.Thilsebatti (talk) 03:38, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- 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. The only mention of the crash that I could find post-June 2022 was a brief mention in October 2022 in a list of road accident in Uttarakhand from Al Jazeera. 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.

A background search and the external link reveal occasional local news coverage and a small mention on NBC/ESPN. Absolutely no in-line citations in the article, and struggles with encyclopedic tone, instead reading reflective. Much of the information seems trivial.

- 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. Post-2015, I'm only able to find short passing mentions of the crash (which are not enough to establish notability): [12][3] [13][4] [14][5]. 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.

Contested redirect a couple of times without the addition of a single in-depth reliable source. And Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 16:24, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- Can you please explain why this article should be deleted? This is one of many cup competition seasons recorded on here that have not had this action put towards them. Why is this particular article causing an issue? It is sourced with two reliable sources (The Football Association Website and a fan created site which has been used as a source for other articles of that era), which lists all the results and a detailed record of the final. This is consistent with all other seasons of the Premier League Cup which have not been flagged in this manner. This page was previously a redirect to the main Premier League Cup page, which was not a suitable arrangement as it did not contain the detail which has been expressed here. This is also part of the chain of articles that allows people to navigate through the history of the completion season by season, both through the links at the top of the article and at the bottom of the page.
- This article cannot be deleted, as it is a key part of the history of the Premier League Cup Competition.

- I really appreciate your help this, honestly. And I know you have to deal with a lot of these discussions and a lot of these similar arguments with other pages, so thank you. It's just a bit confusing for me, because I've read the SIGCOV, and to me it describes a source which is an all encompassing one for the article, rather than just a few side mentions the other sources may have had. I therefore thought the FA Full Time Site was exactly that, as it covers all the results of the competition for that season. It wasn't a match report written at the time, it's a page of information that does describe the Final, and then lists all of the results for the year at the bottom. I assumed this was a Verifiable Source, and the way I had interpreted it was that this would be my primary SIGCOV Source, and then everything else would be Secondary to supplement it. Apparently, the argument is that the FA Full Time Site is not independent from Wikipedia, which I cannot fathom. There is no conflict of interest here with the FA, they aren't going to financially benefit from this, are they? Why is the Full Time FA Site not a SIGCOV source?

- Keep this competition was indeed covered in the media as evidenced by the sources currently in the article. The FA Site isn't SIGCOV because it's not independent of the competition, but competitions are a bit odd because one of the things which makes a competition notable is continued routine coverage, which is exactly what is in the article. Not all of the sources are good for notability including the matchday programmes, but there's more than enough here to keep. SportingFlyer T·C 08:12, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

- Notability shouldn't be questioned it is a World Championships approved by World Sailing. Wikipedia is full of minor none olympic sports national and contentinental sailing. Even sailing has pages with one reference and 5 competitors from recent regional games yet this is getting questioned.
- In regards to whether the page should be on the 8 metre page. In the past it the data sat on three pages "sailing medalists page", "equipment page" and "event page" they also sat on unreference template. The descision by those contributing which I didn't necessarily agree with was that the boat page was about the equipment and the event page was about the event. The medalist page was so big it broke templates.
- The events table referenced is a reduced version of what is on this page and will be deleted. To be honest the event page is work in progress and needs improving interms of referencing I will try and work on this over the weekend. Yachty4000 (talk) 08:45, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

- KEEP Yes sailing has drifted between using the term "world cup" and world championships here is a link to the 2025 edition [[15]]. The World Cup is awarded to the overall winner. There are two sub further trophies for the first of various age of boats. This is why it better on another page as most none sailing geeks :-) would incorrectly read the winners from the class page. But this is the Sira Cup which is for the older boats.
- Seriously why are we discussing notability of official world championships its this kind of discussion that makes me question why I contribute. Still lots of improvements todo with article which I will work on. Yachty4000 (talk) 22:06, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep for now and support a procedural early close as the nom did not provide any reasons for deletion, with their argument instead being that there was no consensus on posting the No Kings protests to In the News, which the nom erroneously interpreted as "a consensus that protests against trump shouldn't be on wikipedia." I think the nom is a well-meaning but inexperienced user who did not know that the bar for something being on ITN is not the same as the bar for being on Wikipedia (if failing to be on ITN is grounds for deletion, the page about the no kings protests would have been deleted by now). Personally, I think this one probably should have been in draftspace until the event actually happened. The large number of references is an indicator that the event is plausibly going to be notable enough for a standalone page after it's actually occurred, but there's no point in moving it right now while the protests are just now starting. A merge discussion can happen after the event ends and some time passes, and I'd prefer if such a discussion took place on the article talk page as I'm not a fan of nominating pages for deletion when deletion is not a plausible outcome.

- Re
"but this page according to people on ITN has a source that was deprecated and could not be trusted (News Nation or whatever it was)"
- I believe that person's comment at ITN was talking about how the ITN nomination only mentioned one source in the ITN nomination template, and it was an outlet they hadn't heard of before, so they were not convinced that this news story is major enough to warrant posting to ITN (though I will say as a longtime ITN editor that the number of sources in the template / whether or not you heard of them is a bad rationale for opposing an ITN listing). That editor did also mention in their comment how strange and amusing it was that there's an asterisk in their WP:RS/P listing talking about their unreliable UFO-related content, but that's not really relevant to this discussion. The editor's comments at ITN were not talking about article content; they never said NewsNation was being cited in the article body (as of writing this, it's not in the sources list). But even if it were, as others have mentioned, that's okay: NewsNation is considered a generally reliable source with only one exception. But even then, even if it were a generally unreliable or deprecated source, and it were being cited in the article body, that's still not grounds for deleting the page, that'd just be grounds for removing the unreliable source through editing the page.

- That one's definitely WP:TOOSOON to be an article and I agree with moving it out of mainspace. But I wouldn't worry too much about the latter half of that !vote; those who claim WP has this bias or that bias are likely not going to be swayed by the mere existence of a low-traffic page like that. If you were to speak to someone who felt Wikipedia is too biased to try to understand how they arrived at that conclusion, you probably wouldn't get a well-reasoned answer based on a careful analysis of which topics are being covered. Vanilla Wizard 💙 03:12, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- I sure hope we've not reached a point in society where national or international protests with thousands of participants in hundreds of locations are considered routine. Also, I'm not sure what this has to do with liberal bias; we have articles for pro-Trump protests, too: March 4 Trump, Mother of All Rallies, Demonstrations in support of Donald Trump, etc. I'm not disputing that Wikipedia can have a liberal bias but in my opinion we should be creating articles for major demonstrations regardless of ideology, party, etc. I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep if this article is merged or deleted, but I don't see how eliminating the documentation of major political protests is a benefit to Wikipedia and its readers. We have
good examples of what articles like this one can look like, so I would prefer to work towards that here. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- No doubt that conservatives protest too. However, these protests are forming at the rate of one every two weeks with different names. Whereas most types of protests are ongoing. These articles are just saying that people are protesting. I figure at this point that is WP:UNDUE for them to be given articles at this rate when all that is said is that there was a protest in this city and that city. I remember seeing KONY 2012 protests in my city, that wasn't included in that article, and it shouldn't it be. Note: I haven't even suggested anything against the plethora of other protests so far as those articles seem to have meat on their bones. If this article can have something more substantial than well a bunch of people held their signs in Scissortail Park on July ##, maybe I would be inclined to agree. Now for the argument that "hundreds of thousands of people participated." Hundreds of thousands of people went to the Thunder's championship parade. Do I think it should have it's own article?

- There's no need to compare this demonstration to No Kings, which was one of the largest protests in US history. We only need to assess if there's enough coverage to justify an article. Multiple editors here have proposed a merge to Protests against Donald Trump, which suggests the content at least has merit, but the parent article is quite lengthy and only going to continue to grow. Deleting this entry essentially scrubs mention of the protest from Wikipedia, which doesn't seem right. ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:34, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

- It can be summarized in that article as "On July 5, 2025 there were the Free America Weekend protests across the country." This is WP:NOTDIRECTORY at this point. The article says nothing about why they were protesting, what their goals were, and the results (if any).- UCO2009bluejay (talk) 15:02, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- There's no need to compare this demonstration to No Kings, which was one of the largest protests in US history. We only need to assess if there's enough coverage to justify an article. Multiple editors here have proposed a merge to Protests against Donald Trump, which suggests the content at least has merit, but the parent article is quite lengthy and only going to continue to grow. Deleting this entry essentially scrubs mention of the protest from Wikipedia, which doesn't seem right. ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:34, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete – Fails WP:NEVENT. There is no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that describe this as a "siege" or frame the event as notable in itself. Most of the references are either war updates without analytical framing, unverifiable maps, or news articles that do not support the narrative described in the article. Eliezer1987 (talk) 07:43, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - per above. Also, the article is baised. It claims Palestinian victory whilst source 2 claims the town was successfully conquered so if we keep it we need a major fact-check effort. DGtal (talk) 08:19, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep but change name: Definitely keep. Multiple sources treat the events in al-Qarara as their own independent campaign. These include:
- Iran Update, March 21, 2024 | Institute for the Study of War. Institue for the Study of War classified the events in al-Qarara as their own independent operation, writing: "The IDF 7th Brigade (36th Division) killed Palestinian fighters in the area and destroyed military infrastructure, including rocket launch shafts.[37] Israeli forces conducted waves of airstrikes on Qarara as part of the operation.[38] Israeli forces have been operating in Qarara since March 3.[39] PIJ fighters targeted Israeli infantrymen breaching a tunnel in Qarara on March 21 by rigging the tunnel entrance to explode.[40] Hamas fighters targeted two Israeli tanks with rocket-propelled grenades west of Qarara."
- It then repeated its reports on the al-Qarara clashes in March 24th: "The IDF 7th Brigade and Kfir Brigade continued clearing operations in Qarara, northern Khan Younis, on March 24.[19] The brigades killed Palestinian fighters near the Israel-Gaza Strip border and targeted a meeting site for Hamas fighters in Qarara.[20] Israeli forces seized weapons caches and an IDF helicopter struck a tunnel shaft in Qarara.[21] Palestinian militias did not claim attacks targeting Israeli forces in Qarara on March 24."
- Then again on March 29, it continued to claim that there was a campaign in al-Qarara saying: "Israeli forces continued to conduct clearing operations in al Amal and al Qarara neighborhoods of Khan Younis on March 29."
- Then there is The Latest Situation In The South Of The Gaza Strip And Khan Yunis (Map) - Islamic World News which details Israeli efforts to surround al-Qarara specificaly.
- The same source also returns to al-Qarara as it neared the battle's end. Latest Updates Gaza Strip, 16 March 2024 - Islamic World News: "According to the latest information, the Israeli regime’s army has retreated from some conflict zones in Khan Yunis city and concentrated its armored units in Al-Qarara town and its surroundings. In the past 48 hours, after Israeli artillery and aerial attacks on Al-Qarara, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of several Palestinians, the military personnel of the occupying regime made slight progress in this axis."
- Another maariv article https://www.maariv.co.il/news/military/Article-1090909 also mentions Israeli plans to find POWs and Hamas leaders/officials in al-Qarara that had failed, which also is another statement of an independent campaign with its own goals.
- However, few if any of these sources call the events in al-Qarara a siege. So there is definitely reason to keep it but perhaps the name of a siege is undue. Genabab (talk) 13:45, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- None of these are secondary, they're all primary "news updates" from when it happened with no continued coverage to pass WP:NEVENT. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:46, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- @PARAKANYAA That isn't true. The maariv source is secondary for one. Secondly, several agricultural journals have also focused on the effects of the campaign by noting its impact on Gazan ecology as it lead to the destruction of the only baladi seed bank in Gaza. These reports emerged after the campaign had ended, which thus satisfies the duration of covereage in WP:NEVENT. Please note the part that says:
- "If an event is cited as a case study in multiple sources after the initial coverage has died down, this may be an indication of lasting significance." Their focus on specifically al-Qarara makes it fit as a case study. It also fits diversity of sources since an agricultural journal remarking the notability of the events in al-Qarara is certainly very different to ISW. Genabab (talk) 14:04, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- It was from the week this happened, it is neither sustained nor secondary. These aren't case studies, they're news updates. PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:15, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- @PARAKANYAA
- The agricultural report I mentioned was published in October of 2024. The battle in al-Qarara ended in *april*. That's a 6 month gap. Not a week. The other one was from September of 2024. Not April.
- And they are case studies, not news updates. When I say journal I do mean journal, not a news site.
- Hell reporting on the effects of the attacks in al-Qarara are going on this year too. Take for instance:
- Al-Qarara Museum: A Testament to Palestinian Resilience Amid Israeli Destruction | Safa News Agency - English Edition. It even refers to an invasion of al-Qarara by Israeli forces. Genabab (talk) 14:24, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

- > The city-bank is irrelevant to the notability of the event,

- > and even then no, a single sentence of coverage does not make that notable either.
- For one, what makes it notable is that it is the only such bank in Gaza + this also ignores an entire journal issue dedicated toward the effects of the events in al-Qarara.
- > What would make the second source reliable?
- You asserted that it was unreliable, I assumed you had some evidence for it.

- WP:NOTINHERITED, for the same reason that if a notable person dies, their death does not warrant a separate article automatically. The war in Gaza is obviously notable, but a single sentence of coverage that a building was destroyed does in no way make the event notable. The second source is a local group blog [18] that describes itself as "a collection of stories". Almost all stories appear to be written by a single person. Not an RS. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:57, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- > but a single sentence of coverage that a building was destroyed does in no way make the event notable
- There's a lot to say here. For one, it isn't a building. It is the only seed bank in Gaza. Secondly, it isn't a single sentence when multiple sources explain this.
- > he second source is a local group blog [1]
- Ok that's objectivally false. The pdf is hosted there, but that isn't the source. Did you even click on the source to check? Its clear that it was published by the Gaza Urban and Peri Urban Agriculture Platform. Like it literally says this when you click on the link in the reference??? It takes you to a UN website[1] which lists the publisher as Gaza Urban and Peri Urban Agriculture Platform and as an article, not a blog. How did you not see this???? Genabab (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- If the single sentence is in multiple sources that does not combine to make it sigcov. And that kind of thing has no inherent notability, so an event leading to its destruction does not confer any kind of notability on the event. Why would it? And yes, if no source gives more than a brief mention, that is not sigcov. None of these articles give sigcov on the event.
- I saw that it was not from there, but I thought you were insinuating that because it was republished there it took its reliability from there. Why would the original source be reliable either? It's a short WP:PRIMARY PDF document from a WP:LOCAL organization with no sign of any review whatsoever. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:54, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- > If the single sentence is in multiple sources [...] And yes, if no source gives more than a brief mention, that is not sigcov. None of these articles give sigcov on the event.
- The second source isn't a single sentence is it? Its literally an entire article about it lmao.
- > And that kind of thing has no inherent notability, so an event leading to its destruction does not confer any kind of notability on the event.
- How? And it does if multiple sources talk about the event specifically because of it. This also applies to culture (see the destruction of one of Gaza's only museums)
- > It's a short WP:PRIMARY PDF document from a WP:LOCAL organization with no sign of any review whatsoever.
- It being short doesn't make it unreliable, it isn't a primary source its an independent organisation writing an article about an event, it being a pdf document is also completely irrelevant (no clue why you want to bring that up) and just because the org is from Gaza does not mean WP:Local applies... And how have you determined there was no review?
- Besides, the UN-FAO hosting it certainly suggests this is not just some random article, rather something note-worthy... Genabab (talk) 23:00, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- The second article is not about it, no. WP:NOTINHERITED, they are not talking about the event specifically. I brought up it being a PDF document because there is no indication that this publication underwent any sort of fact checking or anything that would make this a reliable source. It is a primary source because it's sourced from interviews and personal experiences. Per WP:NEVENT local sourcing is not enough to evidence notability. A document being published online doesn't make it reliable! There is a lot of garbage on the websites of UN affiliates, so that doesn't help, there is no evidence this is reliable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:08, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- > The second article is not about it, no.
- False. It's literally about the destruction and aftermath of the al-Qarara seed bank.
- > I brought up it being a PDF document because there is no indication that this publication underwent any sort of fact checking or anything that would make this a reliable source
- Oh wow because being a PDF document means that there was no review pre-publication, right? That's definitely how that works...
- > It is a primary source because it's sourced from interviews and personal experiences.
- I don't think you understand what a primary source is.Say there is a history book which includes an interview. The act of having an interview in the work, even it being a major part of said work, does not retroactively make the work a primary source in and of itself. That is just not how sources work, at all.
- > Per WP:NEVENT local sourcing is not enough to evidence notability.
- Just because the publisher is an organisation dedicated to Gaza, does not mean its local sourcing. Local sourcing would be stuff like "al-Qarara News" or something. Not an organisation dedicated to studying agriculture in Gaza lol. You seem to be confusing an institute that is about something specific with "local sourcing".
- > document being published online doesn't make it reliable!
- Yeah that's not what I said.
- > there is no evidence this is reliable
- This is probably the most opaque discussion I've had on wikipedia. You've never given a single indication of what would need to be true for you to deem this reliable, nor have you given any reason to assert that it is unreliable to begin with! What do you want me to say? Genabab (talk) 11:20, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

He added – during his daily analysis on Al Jazeera – that the area of Qarara north of Khan Yunis witnessed fierce battles at the beginning of the Israeli ground offensive on the southern Gaza Strip, pointing out that the Israeli forces were unable to control the network of tunnels in the area." + https://www.aljazeera.net/news/2024/1/11/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%8A-%D9%84%D9%87%D8%B0%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%B3%D8%AD%D8%A8%D8%AA which states why Israel withdrew from al-Qarara and anaylses it as a battle

- Delete: This appears to be an "on and off" series of attacks rather than a large, coordinated effort. The sourcing seems minimal with some mentions of fighting, but no real mention of an extended fight. I wouldn't be opposed to a selective merge to the invasion article. Oaktree b (talk) 17:59, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Oaktree b Worth noting there are sources that refer to it as an extended fight (see aljazeera source mentioned above) but you're right that it isn't in the article.. I'll add them and that will hopefully rectify this 0_o Genabab (talk) 18:52, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

- Weak delete I can find plenty of info from the conference organization itself, and a few pages from locations that hosted it, but independent coverage is sparse. I did find this article: [19], but the unsubstantiated quote at the bottom, "Beware of the internet, Wikipedia, etc." does not give me confidence in the source's credibility.

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SUSTAINED. Only secondary sources contribute to GNG. Wikipedia is not a news aggregator. Death count is not a factor in determining notability. Anyone is welcome to add a history section to Bolaang Mongondow Regency and add a mention of this, or to create a list of mine collapses and add this as an item in the list.

- Keep. Notable accident with lasting effect. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 18:11, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- 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.

- Keep: I mulled this one over a bit, but I think it clears the standard. This September 2024 article from AP describes this particular collapse as especially bad relative to more recent illegal gold mine collapses in Indonesia. On its own, that strikes me as suggesting there is a cultural memory of this event that was still salient five years after the fact. While the article as written feels like it runs afoul of NOTNEWS, I think the subject is in fact notable. ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:37, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Well written and sourced; covers a notable historical event. User01938 (talk) 08:28, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: This was an awful accident, reading this article was upsetting. This had a lot of news coverage in Indonesia from a brief skim of the references, I also spotted a BBC News report. Based on other people's comments, I feel that this does slightly have greater notability than Point 4 of WP:EVENTCRITERIA. I think with some more international news references, fixing the dead link reference and expanding the article a bit, this should be kept. 11WB (talk) 02:00, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: A mine collapse killing 29 has implications for the illegal mine company. The incident was also retrosprectively written about [20][21]. Vanaa1 (talk) 01:48, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- I don't know if I'll have time to run through my own review of the sources today, but as currently documented in our guidelines, WP:ROUTINE is not about an editor's own judgement of the significance of a particular event, but the nature of the coverage of that event, i.e.
[...] and other items that tend to get an exemption from newsworthiness discussions should be considered routine.
The referenced AP coverage on this event is 2 sentences, of a total of 28 words:In February 2019, a makeshift wooden structure in an illegal gold mine in North Sulawesi province collapsed partly due to shifting soil. More than 40 people were buried.
I'd consider it a stretch to say it counts as an example of an event beingre-analyzed afterwards
. Certainly, it's awful that it happened, but fatalities unlicensed and illegal mining operations seem unfortunately common in Indonesia and just because it is referenced (as opposed to analysed) by RS after the fact doesn't mean we would be able to write an article on it. (q.v. WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY, cf. also Al Jazeera referencing a 2001 collapse in 2022) Unfortunately, we do not currently have an Illegal mining in Indonesia or similar more general article to smerge or redirect into, which would otherwise be my recommendation.

- Keep, I'm fairly confident that given the above, the article can and does meet sufficient notability standards. Surayeproject3 (talk) 03:47, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, without objection to a redirect to any plausible target. I've went through the sources I've been able to find, and they all fail the test set out at WP:ROUTINE / WP:SBST, even if editors consider the event itself a significant one. The AP article does not in fact describe
this particular collapse as especially bad
or provide, as I mentioned above, anything beyond a trivial mention of the event, and that editors are even tempted to ascribe analysis, to sources, that does not exist in them is quite damning, in my opinion. As for the other two sources, the KronikToday is someone recounting their personal experience, a WP:PRIMARY source if I've seen one, and Zona Totabuan only mentions this collapse briefly in the paragraph startingPeristiwa ini
, as best as I could tell. Another source covering a 2024 collapse from Antara also mentions this one, but it's really no better than the AP. I do not believe the alternative is a plausible interpretation of our guidelines. Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:06, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
