2014 Golden Gate Bridge deer crossing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Prod contested - "highly notable, covered by sources national and international" I disagree. This is a case of WP:NOTNEWS. A bunch of deer crossed Golden Gate bridge and made the news, which is why there are a number of links to newspapers. However I don't believe that this event has lasting notability Gbawden (talk) 14:16, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. No demonstration of lasting significance or impact is presented, and I can neither find nor reasonably anticipate anything.  The incident might (or might not) warrant brief mention in the main Golden Gate Bridge article, although there's currently nothing there about the bridge's impact on animals (not even genius apes) . --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:12, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Golden Gate Bridge, this is a wonderful, and completely nonnotable story to have an article. It barely merits mention at the bridge article, but ill give it that.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 23:30, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * On second look I note that we do have a separate article for Golden Gate Bridge in popular culture, and maybe this story (and the flurry of attention it received) might belong there? --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:03, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually agree, User:Arxiloxos. That's probably the best option. --AnupamTalk 00:40, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I disagree... this is a news story about the bridge, not a reference to the bridge in popular culture. -- Kinu  t/c 16:14, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete The article is a violation of WP:NOTNEWS. All of the sources were released on or the day after this event, and there has not been any lasting impact. I am hesitate to merge this, as animal caused traffic jams are really common and including it in an article would likely be giving undue weight to this event.

 * Speedy Keep A momentous, history-changing event like this does not occur everyday. Alex (talk) 16:41, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOTNEWS and such. No indication of lasting notability. Worth an extremely brief mention at the bridge's article, if even that. -- Kinu  t/c 05:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete This was a tough decision, especially because of User:Alexsautographs' comment. However, in reality, this is a sensational local news story that does not pass WP:N for this encyclopedia. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 00:39, 5 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Local traffic news fluff, fails WP:EVENT as coverage ceased a couple of days after it happened. Maybe it'll end up as a footnote to some article about urbanization encroaching on nature. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 16:03, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
