This article breaches WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Yes, there are lots of references, but in the 24-hour news cycle, media picks up anything to fill space. The publication of this event is no more than titillation and shock value. It is tabloid trivia. Wikipedia is better than that. WWGB (talk) 01:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Agree with the nom rationale. WP:NSUSTAINED certainly applies here as well. User:Let'srun 01:58, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Obviously fails NOTNEWS as-is. It might be salvageable if there was also controversy (eg. court case), or social commentary about a larger issue, something to move it out of the realm of news-of-the-day. -- GreenC 04:00, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:Busition said in Special:Diff/1178883240/1178950382 it was a "viral incident/notable meme" but the article does not show that. A meme is not the same thing as a news story. If it was a meme we might see notable parody, news stories that discuss it in the context of a meme, enduring coverage and discussion. BTW I think given (or despite) the material Bustition had to work with, it's cleanly formatted and well researched. -- GreenC 04:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You make a pretty good point. Most of the sources I encountered were either written by the same person or were just non-reliable (e.g. Daily Mail). I wrote this article mainly because I thought it was notable enough due to how very references I was able to find. Now I know very well that is not the case. I feel like it should've rather been a mere mention in an article rather than a stand alone page by itself. Busition (talk) 19:12, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's alright it's hard to tell how things will end up, what sources will be available how it will look, you took a chance without ill intent. No harm. The system is working well. -- GreenC 20:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not an encyclopedic topic with WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTGOSSIP, WP:NOTFB, and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. FatCat96 (talk) 04:20, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Very clearly NOTNEWS. Conyo14 (talk) 16:38, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but would be fine on Wikinews. Is there a way to move articles there? - Indefensible (talk) 18:02, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The site is miserable. In the past 7 days there have two legitimate new articles created. And about 20 hoaxes, nonsense and spam pages. -- GreenC 18:55, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. But like what GreenC said, most of WikiNews is misinformation, which also really brings up the question of how much moderation is there on that site. Busition (talk) 19:04, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia gets thousands of hoaxes/spam/nonsense too. And it deletes (almost) all of them. Wikinews is probably the same. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is already stale on Wikinews, which only accepts articles about events in the past week or so. See User:Tom Morris/Don't transwiki to Wikinews, thanks * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, thanks. But curious if there is a real policy behind that essay. - Indefensible (talk) 22:18, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
n:Wikinews:Freshness? * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I might explore Wikinews a bit more and just drafted a news version of the article on today's Palestinian attack. - Indefensible (talk) 00:01, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not meet the inclusion criteria listed under WP:NEVENT. RecycledPixels (talk) 18:27, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am sorry but I have given up the strength to care about this article anymore. In retrospect, I feel like this shouldn't have been a standalone page. I just want this to be deleted and I am sorry if this message appears rude. I'm sorry and good day to everyone. Busition (talk) 18:58, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly a case of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. TH1980 (talk) 00:18, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I find this instructive to compare with the similar United Airlines Flight 976, which I created almost three years ago for that event's 25th anniversary. Even at this time in 1995, it would have been notable in a way this has not ... we knew who the perp was and that he was an investment banker, that a head of state had been on the plane and thus it could not be diverted for security reasons, and of course that the perp had at one point decided to perch on the back of a drinks cart, drop trou and crap away. By comparison we know almost nothing about this, nothing that makes it notable. Daniel Case (talk) 06:58, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
