- Keep. This is the worst road accident in the history of Papua New Guinea, which IMHO gives it "additional enduring significance" per criterion #4 of WP:NEVENT. Astaire (talk) 18:37, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. per nom, fails WP:LASTING. CutlassCiera 22:26, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete The fact that it was the worst road accident in PNG's history makes me hesitant to say delete, but I'm barely even finding mentions of the accident after the burst of initial news coverage. It doesn't seem to have led to any policy reforms, ongoing commemorations etc. that would suggest that it meets WP:LASTING. While it may rank first numerically in terms of the number of deaths, I'm not sure that on its own is enough to demonstrate "additional enduring significance" per WP:NEVENT.

- Delete: There are no lasting effects on this event as the editors said. No follow-up sources have been found which qualifies WP:LASTING. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 08:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
