~~Weak Keep~~ It looks like it was created right after the fire when there was coverage in the anglosphere and then nothing else. I was able to find an English source from March 2023 about suspects being refered to prosecutors and Korean sources about scentencing in September 2023. There's also two from October 2023 which seem to be refering to the same thing but have different casualty numbers (although that might just be a translation error). There an article from February 2023 looking back at the fire, and March 2023 about it reopening and the material used that contributed to the fire. As well as July 2023 about another city replacing all their soundproof tunnels becasue of the now identified risks.

It's probably the case that it should be mentioned in/moved to another an article about that, but I think it needs a Korean speaker to look thorugh sources before deleting. And also someone who's more familiar with Korean news sources too, one of the ones I had picked up (bnnbreaking) on were noted as unreliable although there's nothing on the others.

Merge to Gyeongin Expressway. Even ignoring its notability, which is tenuous, there's no reason why one fact about the expressway should have its own article (WP:NOPAGE). Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:06, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As a partial response to this, Seongsu Bridge disaster has its own article, separate from Seongsu Bridge. toobigtokale (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because of continued sigcov for months afterwards in the Korean language, but I could entertain a merge to Second Gyeongin Expressway. The coverage is often of the outcome of the event, particularly the investigations and legal trials.

Anecdotal, but this was pretty big news in South Korea at the time and is still mentioned on TV every now and then. Pretty horrifying event. toobigtokale (talk) 22:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can google the phrase "제2경인고속도로 갈현고가교 화재" and switch to news; coverage is across hundreds of articles and comes from like every major South Korean newspaper and continues for months afterwards, even into late 2023. toobigtokale (talk) 22:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak keep Interestingly the Bahasa Indonesia article is the most developed here, but I think this passes WP:LASTING. It does need to be significantly expanded, though, and if someone looks at this again after awhile and it hasn't been, I may be willing to concede I was wrong... (edit: on that note, perhaps this is a valid article title, but should be merged until we can split it.) SportingFlyer T·C 16:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
