Per WP:NOTNEWS, this event does not meet WP:EVENT and is unlikely to have lasting, sustained coverage. jolielover♥talk 08:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, India, and Delhi. jolielover♥talk 08:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
• Withdrawn by nominator: The article has been expanded on since nomination and I believe it is now in a good state for Wikipedia per WP:HEY. In the time since this nomination, there appears to be some more coverage of the event from more reliable sources. Thank you {{ping|Johnson524}} for expanding it. jolielover♥talk 10:35, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
• Delete this article is definitely does not meet WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NOTNEWS as the event does not last that long, per WP:NTEMP. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 09:16, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
• The crush resulted in reactions by the prime minister and the Minister of Railways announced an investigation. The crush is to a certain extent notable as it also received worldwide news coverage. As it is also 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela related, the best for now is to merge it into 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela crowd crush (and probably rename to 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela crowd crushes). 46.44.158.42 (talk) 09:55, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: WP:NOTNEWS, article still isn't ready for mainspace. E_F⁵ 16:15, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
• Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Stations-related deletion discussions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:50, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
• Keep While the page is snowballing towards delete, I do believe it's notable enough to not be discounted by NOTNEWS. The amount of casualties at 18 is higher than other Indian crowd crush articles (ex. 2024 Mumbai stampede), and with ongoing investigations, I believe we should keep the page around for now. Cheers!
