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) 🛸 23:50, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete If you actually ready the references with any care at all, you can see that they refer to two different accidents, both of which happened to kill 51 people but which occurred on two different dates. There is no continuing coverage here; it's all day-of or next-day reporting. One of the articles even says that this sort of accident is common in Peru, with some four thousand fatalities a year.

delete It is unclear what this article is about, since the references are, as Mangoe says, about two different accidents. There appears to be nothing notable about these accidents (the 2 sourced here). As the CBC article says: Traffic accidents are common along Peru's roadways, with more than 2,600 people killed in 2016. Obviously, sensational crashes get covered in the news, but that does not make them encyclopedic. Lamona (talk) 03:53, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
