Reactions to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake
- Reactions to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Yet another silly "reactions to..." article. It fails WP:N, which requires "more than just a short burst of news reports about a single event or topic to constitute evidence of sufficient notability". The earthquake itself is notable, no doubt. The boilerplate reactions to it ("deep sorrow... deep regret... sympathy and condolences") are not. If Uruguay had said "we're really glad this happened", or if Malawi had said, "we don't give a fig about the quake", it would at least have been interesting, but this is dry as well as transitory. So, yes, it's sourced, but so is the entire run of newspapers every day - not everything in the news merits an encyclopedia article. Given that none of these reactions was profound enough that probably anyone will remember them a week's hence, let's delete for lack of notability. Biruitorul (talk) 23:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

- Very Strong Keep: Bad faith nom. I will propose to take some measures against the nominator so that he cannot disrupt the AfDs. This is well-sourced article documenting the international reaction to a major earthquake. We have similar articles International reactions to the 2006 Lebanon War, Reactions to the September 11, 2001 attacks etc. While this will be WP:OTHERSTUFF type argument, but this topic is valid topic. Not only this, any this kind of topic is valid topic. The main article 2008 Sichuan earthquake is becoming too long. To maintain wikipedia's standard article size, i.e. 32 KB, this information cannot be merged. The nom is frivolous. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 00:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
