One-off event, already briefly mentioned at Matt Taylor (scientist). Separate article would give the controversy undue weight. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:35, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with Ghmyrtle. Recommend deletion. beefman (talk) 08:51, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- Delete: As things stand right now, it does not meet the standards of notability, and WP:NOTNEWS. If several years from now, this incident will be remembered and mentioned in reliable sources, and prove itself to be something of importance, an article can be created then.2A02:2F0A:507F:FFFF:0:0:BC1B:4541 (talk) 09:03, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- Explanation: I would like to point that I don't think this incident is merely "sensational nonsense", like some have argued; in fact the Astronomical Society of Australia itself has commented on it ; and this incident touches on very many important and sensitive issues. It's just that as things currently stand, the article is in violation of WP:NOTABLE. Maybe in the future it will qualify, but until/unless this happens, such an article should not be created.2A02:2F0A:507F:FFFF:0:0:BC1B:4541 (talk) 09:25, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect - A notable event in Matt Taylor's life; it possibly could do with a little more weight in the parent article, but there is certainly no need, right now, for a separate article, due to WP:NOTNEWS. I don't understand how you can argue that it isn't notable, however; it blatantly is. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 09:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- - not a notable WP:EVENT but perhaps worth a passing mention in his article (thus giving it the same weight as the event when compared to his broader scientific career). St★lwart 09:44, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Misplaced Pages should not erect a permanent memorial to silliness. The guy is a scientist. He wore a dumb shirt. People tweeted. It's an ephemeral space-filler and per WP:NOTNEWS does not warrant an encyclopedic article. There is also no reason to keep a redirect—is every meme-of-the-day and every attack title to be permanently recorded in the encyclopedia? Johnuniq (talk) 09:55, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
- Question which of the WP:NOTABLE criteria are not met? There seem to be a significant amount of reliable, secondary sources covering the event itself, though there could be more included in the article. 09I500 (talk) 10:04, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
