This is the essence of triviality, and a clear violation of NOT INDISCRIMINATE. Neither the events, & certainly the details, do not belong in an encyclopedia . If we include this, it would make just as much sense to include lists of everyone who died in any sort of transport related accident. DGG ( talk ) 20:28, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, overly specific. Millions of people die every year in non-natural ways, they should not all be listed even if the news reported individual incidents. Reywas92^Talk 21:04, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTNEWS. All victims unnamed and non-notable. Ajf773 (talk) 21:11, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP This is useful information to learn from. It may not get as much coverage as some random famous person or a cartoon show on television gets, however Wikipedia isn't just popular culture, its also an encyclopedia of useful information. These things always get news coverage so are notable to include here. Got a lot of great articles like this at Category:Lists of people by cause of death Dream Focus 23:46, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:NOTNEWS. These kinds of things often don't even get news coverage, but operators publicize them to scare people away from the dangerous equipment. Most of the lists in Category:Lists of people by cause of death only include notable people, or at least notable deaths. These are neither. Pburka (talk) 01:27, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Too many non notable incidents get added often[1][2] and as such this should be deleted. An article with a wider scope covering notable incidents can be created however. Kaweendra (talk) 11:24, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as indiscriminate. It is both too narrow - just those in Romania - and too broad -- How does one define "accidental" electric shocks when such are so common and often not witnessed nor properly documented? Bearian (talk) 01:58, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are not so many accidents as to be overwhelming less than 10 a year is not indiscriminate, like say traffic or drowning accidents which is a slippery slope logical fallacy to compare with. Article is well sourced supporting every item, the complaints of non-notable incidents do not make sense given all the sourcing. The list has precise criteria for inclusion. It is maintained well and up to date, there are editors who care about this article and manage it. There is no Wikipedia requirement that only notable people be included in "List of" articles it passes WP:LISTN -- GreenC 15:56, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
