- Keep. Ten deaths meets the notability standard, I should think. Yes, it needs a lot of work, but I don't see why it shouldn't be notable. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 16:10, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment All of the text apart from the first revision of this article was a copy and paste copyvio of these three news articles so I have stubbed it accordingly. I also restored the AfD tag which had been removed. ascidian | talk-to-me 13:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. International reporting, multiple deaths, and the Ukrainian cabinet held an emergency session in Dnipropetrovsk in response. Taken together, I'd regard this event as notable. Note that it was fairly recent (May 7) so I'd reasonably expect the article to improve in the near future. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 11:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NOT#NEWS. Not every news story needs to be enshrined forever in encyclopedias. How many times in that past several hundred years have there been news stories about how 10 people died in one event? Unless it had some effect on society, it is just news of the week.

- Weak delete per Edison. It needs more than deaths for historical impact and notability. American Eagle (talk) 20:57, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
