fails WP:EVENT. article created day after event. Almost all the coverage I found is from the same month of the event. Whilst 4 deaths is unfortunate, that in itself is not enough for notability LibStar (talk) 11:50, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I think it may qualify per WP:EVENT because there was additional coverage after the fact. They arrested the owner of the car and he was aquitted six months later; there was extensive coverage. [1], [2] —Мандичка^YO 😜 13:20, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Coverage in the New York Times and the BBC establishes notability. [3] [4] Winner 42 Talk to me! 17:12, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

that coverage is from the day of the event. Where is the WP:PERSISTENT coverage to establish long term notability? LibStar (talk) 05:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The links that Wikimandia provided establish long term notability as they were from six months after the event. Winner 42 Talk to me! 16:23, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Significant media coverage in reliable sources such as the NYT is reason enough to keep it from deletion. SilverSurfingSerpant (talk) 00:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - As Wikimandia and Winner 42 said, additional coverage months later the event in reliable sources is enough to satisfy WP:EVENT. — Yash! ^(Y) 01:08, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
