I probably didn't want to unilaterally set those conditions myself so left it for editors of the article to decide. It should probably be an "or" situation – 10 deaths or . If an accident has its own article, it should be on this list. Another way to try to inform new editors about meeting inclusion criteria would be to put it in an 1074:
Inclusion of list entries. With a list of this scope, covering accidents on the world's 4th-largest rail network over a period of more than 150 years, it might not be worthwhile to list every single accident. I would suggest listing only notable accidents, those which have or could have their own
1070:
Lack of references and/or footnotes. It looks like the three entries in External links are actually sources which cover multiple list entries. It may need to be reorganized, with them moved into a "Sources" section and then adding refs which point to them with page notes. I marked unsourced
1107:
This is the exact point that I had issues with, an year ago. Random unverified editors adding new incidents that were insignificant to be called a train disaster. Though I agree on 10 as the minimum fatalities as an inclusion criteria, we might disagree on what can be deemed 'notability'— an
1078:
Of lesser importance, I felt some of the entries could have been a little more specific. Instead of simply saying there was a "train accident" it would be good to mention if the accident was a derailment, a collision, a fire, bombing, or something else. I marked some of these
1046:
Be mindful of tone. Knowledge's voice shouldn't say something is lucky or unfortunate or ironic; such would not be encyclopedic tone. Just state the facts from reliable sources, and let the reader make their own determination. For similar reasons, I changed

articles. Or perhaps accidents resulting in 10 or more deaths. It would be good to agree on a standard for inclusion, and state it in the lead of the article. I marked several of the accidents having no reported casualties with.
1103:
I support creating a separate 'Sources' section. Many of the current references are unorganized. In fact, the first link under the external links (or the source from where it is derived) is a lot more reliable than many of the
1165:). It's up to the editors to understand WP:N and make additions to the list after an incident. That's where we need a set paramerer on the casualties so that editors can know whether an incident merits a place on the list. 1029:
I didn't think it was necessary to have yearly sections from the 1980s, and reorganized with sections for groups of approximately 15 entries for manageability. I left the 2010s as they're still being added.

I share the concerns you have put out. One way to overcome it is to have a table/last paragraph before the contents in the main page, outlining the standardization used throughout the article.
