Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2006 North Ossetia pipeline explosions
This nomination is a prime example of a -based article deletion rationale that is not benefitting or improving the Wikipedia project.  I added a NYTimes reference to the article, and it is abundantly clear, that the news coverage positioned the event in a broad political and energy security context - coverage was far beyond the event itself.  Evenso, any explosion of a gas transmission mains is probably notable, from a gas safety point of view, land use planning experts etc.  I find the nom's language problematic - "this very minor incident", "Saakaskhvili .. is .. a hysterical drama queen" - who is POV pushing here
