Not every fatal automotive accident is notable. This is tragic, but as per WP:NOTNEWS, delete. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:54, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per nom, this is WP:NOTNEWS, no idea why this had been de-proded CommanderWaterford (talk) 23:12, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Searching for sources for this article, I found articles a plethora of bus crashes deadlier than this in Ghana over the past few years. These are not small tragedies; they are in line with the severity of the bus crashes found at Category:Bus incidents by country. The president of Ghana often makes statements expressing his condolences to the families of the victims. I think eventually, these crashes should be dealt with in an article called Bus incidents in Ghana, or on the pages of the notable Ghanaian highways where these crashes occurred, but these articles have yet to be created.

Keep. I find it hard to accept that an accident killing 19 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) 10:50, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Necrothesp; the notion of the deaths of 19 people makes it notable enough for Wikipedia - we can't particularly discriminate when we have similar articles from other areas of the world with equal or even less deaths. On the other hand sourcing could be improved. Nightfury 10:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Neither of the keep !votes address the GNG concern. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, in fact until now nobody has mentioned a "GNG concern". But, actually, I think it does meet GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:43, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, a single incident resulting in 19 deaths seems exceptional. NemesisAT (talk) 16:36, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, multiple independent secondary sources about the accident can be found. SportsOlympic (talk) 19:05, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
