2011 United States salmonellosis outbreak

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Minor event, delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT. A salmonella outbreak with 20 ill people, no deaths. Short term coverage only. Good sources, no problem there, but no WP:PERSISTENCE and no WP:EFFECT. Comparable to what is adviced in WP:AIRCRASH. Note that the article itself indicates (in the first source) that this outbreak is not exceptional or severe, and that the title is a bit of a misnomer since a few months before there was "salmonella-tainted ground turkey products that killed one person in California and made more than 100 people ill nationwide." which seems to be another, more severe "2011 US salmonellosis outbreak" than this one...

 * While the WP:NOTNEWS criticism seems sound, could this still be a merger candidate, perhaps to List of foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States or Salmonellosis? An event that doesn't merit standalone article coverage may still merit mention.  postdlf (talk) 19:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep FDA ruling for the food recall was challenged in court so not a single event, we have the FDA then the court case. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:49, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Norton. It's not the morbidity and mortality that makes it notable; it is the effect on FDA and administrative law that matters. Bearian (talk) 01:26, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * And what effect did it have? Fram (talk) 09:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge per postdlf. Stifle (talk) 17:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to List of foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States. We do not currently seem to have enough material for a dedicated article. Can be spun off again should it turn out that there is much more to be said about it.   Sandstein   08:19, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge to List of foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States, WP:NOTNEWS issue. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 06:11, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge as per above. Presently, this is very short. If more information is added, it could be split into another article. Stedrick (talk) 17:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
