The result was keep. Another article nominated soon after its creation. I don't want to be a broken record so look at other AFDs from 2/22 for my remarks. A clear consensus to Keep and discussions about a Merge or Rename can occur on the article talk page. LizRead!Talk!02:53, 1 March 2024 (UTC)reply
the way the bridge collapsed and how it collapsed is notable as its not every day a boat smashes into a bridge causing a large portion to collapse articles like this are not always needed for death tolls but how it happened and such as the boat crashing into the bridge

@
Knowledgekid87: I actually think the bridge itself is notable. See also for instance the Chinese article including the history. So, I'm interested to know why you think the bridge itself is not notable?

Keep or Rename as and adjust to make article about
Lixinsha Bridge - Bridge collapses are notable enough. there are much less serious incidents with articles at
List of bridge failures
Merge into
List of bridge failures; this event is serious enough to warrant inclusion (as that list includes a number of non-fatal collapses, plus several collapses with more fatalities than this one), but I question whether there is enough material for more than a stub article. --

Keep for now per
WP:RAPID. It's literally just been 1 day after this event when the article is nominated. Managed to get to numerous international news outlets
[1][2][3][4] so there is enough coverage to pass the simple
WP:GNG. I'd imagine that the last paragraph at
WP:LASTING applies here too. I would not be opposed to a merger should notability be not there after a few months.

Keep for now and rename
Lixinsha Bridge. It notable per
WP:EVENT and has
WP:COVERAGE as it has international coverage with CNN and NYT, also it may meet
WP:LASTING if the claim "Due to low safety standards and poor enforcement, building fires and similar deadly incidents are common in China” found in
Yingcai Boarding School fire has a reliable source (the source
[5] does verify this) and applies to this bridge too. Whether it’s
WP:LASTING for a bridge, I’m unsure. But keeping the current encyclopedic summary of the bridge collapse in a Wiki article about the
Lixinsha Bridge sounds good. waddie96 ★ (
