One TV station

had subtitles calling this the "GOP Train Wreck" and the reporter was making snide comments because of the double meaning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanguard10 (talk • contribs) 05:16, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikinews

A traffic accident like dozens every day. Why should this get an article? We have Wikinews special for this. Wikipedia is not a news site. WP:Not News --Livenws (talk) 00:24, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LIVE NIEUWS This accident involved members of United States Congress primarily of the Republican Party. It was a serious accident and does merit its own article. If you want to contest the notability of the article, I would draft a nomination of this article for WP:AFD. FunksBrother (talk) 17:01, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As FunksBrother said, this has clear notability as it involves numerous notable people (including the Speaker of the House, though not mentioned in article), and is covered by dozens of sources. A Google search returns over 1 million results. Cocoaguy ここがいい 19:22, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An article is not encyclopedic if there are 'dozens of sources' or there were 'famous people (known in the USA)' onboard. This is a small railway accident, like there are millions in the world each year. --Livenws (talk) 10:50, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
