2007 Michigan State Government Shutdown

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article was created before the true effect of shutdown could be known, only 16 minutes after it technically began. Wikipedia does not report the news. Since the whole event lasted only 4 hours and does not appear as if it will have much long term impact (besides higher income tax and an expansion of the sales tax, which may only be tempoary), the paragraph (which is more detailed and referenced) in Michigan should be adequate as this is not likely to become more than a stub.

 * Speedy delete per CSD A1 (no context). Just not much to write about. If the article was expanded to a reasonable size, then it could be merged with Michigan.  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 22:48, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. With 50 US states this happens somewhere almost every year. It doesn't affect a whole lot and is usually pretty short-lived. A federal shutdown is another matter. Basically news, appropriate at Wikinews (but we can't transwiki there due to license incompatibility). Alas, only a very expansive reading of CSD#A1 would label this as having "no context". Not speedy eligible. --Dhartung | Talk 01:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It was over before everyone woke up, so beyond the future tax impact, only campers, stranded motorists, and anyone with an urge to buy a lottery ticket at 2am was affected. If it had been longer it would've been a keep, but this was just a close call that was dealt with. Nate 06:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. News story without any evidence of lasting impact considering that everything is back up four hours later. About as significant as a traffic jam. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: - I'd like to point out this article, which has a bit more info on it. --UsaSatsui 14:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Lack of context and WP:NOTNEWS, it is not notable enough for an individual article - better to be sent to Wikinews if there are more details though.-- JForget 00:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Can it be moved (transwikied?) to Wikinews?--Bedivere 19:43, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 2007 Michigan budget crisis. It is important that this issue be recorded because the tax increases are likely to have a lasting effect on Michigan.  However, considering the shutdown lasted about 4 hours, the aftereffects themselves are what made the huge impact.Bradkoch2007 22:16, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
