WP:NOTNEWS, local interest only. House fires, even with fatalities, are relatively common and not of encyclopedic interest. MB 02:08, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this article shouldn’t be deleted as it is definitely news when an explosion kills one and injures others, as well as destroying a house. Furthermore, things like explosions to this scale rarely happen in the United Kingdom, making it even more newsworthy. Greyzxq (talk) 07:22, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Yes house explosions in the UK are less frequent, and it's very sad someone died, but this is not a notable event for inclusion here. This is Paul (talk) 21:00, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. One death and five injuries, with no related judiciary proceedings as of now, really aren't enough to warrant inclusion. BilletsMauves (talk) 15:28, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
