Causing deaths and being reported in the news do not confer notability. Fails WP:EVENT. I'm unable to find significant secondary coverage. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 22:41, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I added several sources referring to this accident, which seems to have gotten quite a bit of coverage in the local (and even national) press. Turgidson (talk) 14:26, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. I find it hard to accept that an accident killing 11 people is not notable. It certainly would be without demur in Western Europe or North America, so I think WP:SYSTEMIC applies here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:31, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. The accident was certainly notable: it was mentioned repeatedly in the Romanian press; it was considered to be one of the worst road-rail accidents in Romania in the preceding ten years (sources refer to it as a "carnage"); it led to a proposal in Parliament to improve the railway crossing (which has not been acted upon); and it is still mentioned in the national press to this day (references from 2023–2024).

- Weak keep Seems to be a bit of WP:LASTING there, and the article is well sourced for GNG, so I am not sure what's wrong. Govvy (talk) 17:35, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
