118th Avenue massage parlour

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minor news event. Significant BLP considerations as well.  DGG ( talk ) 23:33, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - This event is not minor. It was covered by all of Canada's top news sources: The Globe and Mail, CTV News, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Any BLP considerations can be addressed through regular editing. Neelix (talk) 23:36, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. News of no lasting impact. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:31, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with nom and with Clarityfiend.  This is a local news item of passing interest.  Msnicki (talk) 00:36, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Overwritten/overcited and UNDUE on a minor and only proposed massage parlour is not what this encyclopedia is for.  Not a newspaper.  There are also BLP issues re the protagonist here, IMO.  And media tub-thumping on a local licensing issue is POV by nature, and also UNDUE by definition.Skookum1 (talk) 04:18, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and all above. Ansh666 06:13, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the above. Although the event received some national coverage, it is not an enduring event compared to others receiving national coverage such as floods and train disasters that are notable. Hwy43 (talk) 06:41, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Slow news day local news hyped to the national news level solely because "holy crap massage parlor they do 'things' in there". Didn't even get beyond the planning stages. So it was covered by national news sources; said national news sources seemed to only take it to either fill time or empty column space or get in some Edmonton coverage. WP:NOTNEWS.

 * Transwiki to Wikinews; they love this kind of thing over there, if I understand rightly. Delete if that's not an option.  We can always restore it if books, non-newsy government websites, or academic journals start talking about it, or if news sources start referring to it in the past tense (i.e. as a matter of reference, not as something that news junkies need to know), but right now I see nothing like that.  Nyttend (talk) 21:58, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikinews per above. Although it did receive a certain amount of coverage, it doesn't really deserve its own article. The subject of the article wasn't even a real massage parlour; it was only ever a proposal.  069952497a  (U-T-C-E) 19:24, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Minor, insignificant local news. I don't think even wikinews would want this one. - Wine Guy ~Talk  00:16, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
