not really sure how localized lists of gas explosions are notable and anything more than WP:NOTNEWS. in any case, this list is redundant if we're to keep just the notable events, as they're already adequately covered here and we don't need a list of every residential gas explosion.

• Comment Three gas explosions on the list have their own articles dedicated to them, and one links to an article about the village Loscoe#Explosion that has a bit about how it lead to new legislation and research. The others don't seem notable enough to be listed. Category:Gas explosions shows how many articles for this subject have happened. Perhaps a list showing just all of them. If the 29 listed for America make that new list too long, it can be split off. Dream Focus 06:23, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't think we need a list of all gas explosions anywhere. Only notable explosions which are adequately covered in Gas explosions. They happen pretty much every day in many countries (I can think of 3 this summer in my city, alone, none of which are notable.) PRAXIDICAE🌈 12:00, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  I was suggesting a list of those with their own articles only. I wasn't aware there was a list of gas explosions already at gas explosion. I see gas explosions listed along with other things at List of explosions as well. Dream Focus 15:45, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete the notable explosions can be listed at gas explosion (most of that article is a list of explosions anyway), and the rest aren't important enough to be covered in this encyclopedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:23, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Most of the incidents seem insignificant. GenuineArt (talk) 12:14, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment- One issue at the moment would seem to be that it only covers fairly recent events, thereby not featuring some big historic ones, and as such is incomplete and as a result coming across as insignificant as noted. For instance Piper Alpha is not included though a case could be made for its inclusion, and the Clarkston explosion which resulted in over 20 deaths is missing. Thus might be better to draft first?

  Why not just add it to the target article where it belongs? PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be fine. My point was more if there was a feeling that there should be a separate article for the UK (which on balance I would probably lean against), that there would need to be more added to it and as it stands it would probably be better as a draft. However, the main article you mention is probably enough to cover what is needed. Dunarc (talk) 22:46, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
