2020 Minsk Victory Day Parade

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not news and this parade seems to have no long-term impact. There is no indication that this event will have a lasting effect. There is some coverage of Belarus flaunting coronavirus guidelines by holding the parade in sources like the BBC, but to merit a stand-alone article it would need to be demonstrated that the parade had a long term impact or was in some way far more notable than a routine parade, which is not established in the article or in any sourcing I could find.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I think this AFD raises a valid larger issue of whether pages should be created for all these Victory Day Parades when there seems to be little inherently notable about most of them. I understand having pages for years when major new weapons systems were revealed or where there was some wider historic or international context, but otherwise I don't see their notability despite whatever brief SIGCOV they may achieve in RS.
