2010 Kenya–Somalia border clash

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is a news item, which lacks ongoing notability. Armbrust Talk to me  Contribs  15:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Just because this part of the world is neglected by the world's media does not make it any less notable than 2010 Israel–Lebanon border clash. A border clash is a border clash. We are lucky it made the news. We need not over burden wikipedia with articles related only to the Israeli-Arab conflict and nothing else. Chesdovi (talk) 16:03, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable border clash (due to news coverage). By their very nature, such events do not have an easily measurable long term impact. --&#91;&#91;User:Anthem of joy&#124;Anthem&#93;&#93; (talk) 17:21, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:NOTNEWS, as it states, is meant to discourage articles based on "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities." An armed conflict between two sovereign nations is not "routine" and, as Anthem of joy pointed out, always has long term impact.--Oakshade (talk) 23:00, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
