Delete I agree that this fails WP:NEVENT because I was unable to find many sources about this from later than November 2023. Opm581^{(talk | he/him)} 21:38, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This was a notable explosion that happened in September 2023 the fact that editors haven't followed up on the article don't mean it doesn't meet the notability for WP:NEVENT. This is a recent article about it [1]Owula kpakpo (talk) 16:35, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Shama District. This is one random thing that happened in the district's history. There's no reason it needs to be a separate article, even if it did have the secondary sourcing necessary to demonstrate notability. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 05:03, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete not seeing the long term notability of an industrial accident. I don't see the merger, as if this is the only thing that ever happened in the area. Mangoe (talk) 12:06, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
