There are thousands of deadly accidents daily, around the world. Xx236 ( talk) 12:13, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
Dear editors, I've left a message on each of your talk pages directing you to this article's deletion discussion page, where the notability of this tragic incident is being discussed. I think that this conversation is best continued there :)) IgnatiusofLondon ( talk) 01:40, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
The source from the BBC is technically behind a paywall for users in the UK, is this fair practice on wikipedia? It seems unfair to force uk readers to pay licence fees in order to verify sources? Surely there is a non BBC source on the story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.31.1.153 ( talk) 06:14, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
The Wimbledon school crash was a horribly tragic incident. It is not, however, an event that merits a Wikipedia article. This was a road traffic accident that claimed two lives - countless accidents of this nature have occurred over the years, but few have had such attention. I have removed the references to Land Rover as there was no fault with the vehicle involved and the article was defamatory. The title still references Land Rover - if the article is not deleted, this should be changed at the very least. It's incorrect to link a brand to a fatal accident when they have had absolutely no fault in it. Westcountry2021 ( talk) 14:14, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
There have been some recent edits exploring the wording of this. The CPS statement says: “In reaching this decision we have considered the driver’s full medical records, obtained by police, and received evidence from neurological specialists, who agreed that the driver had a seizure and that this was the first such medical episode she had experienced."

What's going on with this paragraph, sourced to a video where the solicitor reads out a prepared statement in front of a greenscreen? Is he summarising the findings of an investigation, presenting the professional view he has taken of the incident, or something else? Pinging @ Airchrist as the user who added it.
