Fails WP:EVENT. Almost 10 years later, all the coverage is from 2015. No lasting coverage or WP:EFFECT. A zero fatality incident. LibStar (talk) 05:51, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Transportation, and Switzerland. LibStar (talk) 05:51, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect (no merge) to List of rail accidents (2010–2019). No indication of lasting notability from the German Wikipedia article. Mackensen (talk) 11:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Updated and expanded, raising WP:HEY. The accident re-entered the news cycle in 2016 when the investigation report of the accident was released. In the new legacy section, the nationwide changes after the accident by the SBB are detailed, some of which relate to the upcoming nationwide implementation of ETCS L2 planned for 2025, which is in favour of WP:EFFECT. The event generated broad coverage by Swiss media, as it was unusual for the Swiss network otherwise considered as one of the safest, and was also picked up by international media for WP:GEOSCOPE. More recent Swiss articles about human error in train driving still consistently mention this accident (e.g. here and here), so it seems to be still present in the public mind.

• Keep per YuniToumei. Changes were made as a direct result of the accident. Mjroots (talk) 17:09, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
