I agree. Considering MOS:PERTINENCE this image is unnecessary and distracting There's already another photo in that section anyways. If a better image can be found, this one should be replaced. Otherwise, we wouldn't be losing much by removing it either. In the alternative, if a gallery were added to this article, I would be in favour of putting this in the gallery and removing it from the main text instead of deleting it altogether.

Support the proposed title is clearly more recognizable based on media coverage, and therefore more useful to our readers. I would not usually support this sort of move but this event has gotten an exceptional level of coverage, with almost all of it using "East Palestine" much more prominently than "Ohio".

Support. The media coverage has put more attention to East Palestine than Ohio train derailment. Furthermore, in a previous discussion that had a similar approach, it was mentioned there were other incidents like this in Ohio. For me at least, I think the change would help make the disaster title be more recognizable.

In the first paragraph is states that 38 cars derailed, but under the derailment section, it says 51 cars derailed. Which is it actually? Or is it that 51 cars became separated from the freight train and only 38 of those 51 actually derailed? Sealpaii (talk) 17:18, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The NTSB released their final report on the derailment yesterday I believe. And has quite a bit of information that someone should probably go through and mention on here. This article as far as I can tell, makes no mention of said final report. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 15:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ordinarily I’d probably do this myself. But since this is a big article and I’m somewhat inexperienced. I’d like someone else’s take on this. Does this article meet the B class criteria? And if not, what part is it lacking in? West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 00:58, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
