2012 Rio de Janeiro building collapses

Prime example of WP:NOTNEWS. While a significant amount of news coverage was published when the incident happened, "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." This is a perfect example, headed for perma-stub status and is pretty much an orphan. Toddst1 (talk) 15:22, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge to Cinelândia (the square adjacent to the site) and delete as an unlikely search term. Stalwart 111  01:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, sources indicate notability. Everyking (talk) 00:43, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, as mentioned in the nomination. That's a given. How does it pass WP:NOTNEWS #2? You haven't addressed that. Toddst1 (talk) 03:04, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge under WP:NOTNEWS. Bondegezou (talk) 10:37, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The nominator has admitted that the article subject is notable. AfD is here to consider notability. Other concerns, such as tone or style, can be settled on the article talk page. WP:NOTNEWS is supplementary to our basic guidelines on notability and style. &there4; ZX95 [ discuss ] 16:46, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTNEWS requires eduring notability - not GNG. Toddst1 (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep : Plenty of coverage, not routine news, so passes WP:NOTNEWS. -- Cycl o pia talk  18:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep sufficient sourcing, & sufficient importance, probably lasting importance.. (AfD, btw, is able to consider other considerations than notability in determining whether an article can exists--it is clear from many discussions  that we can consider in addition whether something is worth covering at all,  whether it would be more  appropriately covered in a merge  and, tho not applicable here, whether a neutral nonpromotional article is possible, as well as whatever other factors are considered relevant)   DGG ( talk ) 17:48, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
