2022 WhatsApp Outage

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Applications have outages all the time. This is not notable enough for a standalone article. Andise1 (talk) 16:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: 2021 Facebook outage is notable and a standalone article so why this outage is not notable? 2022 WhatsApp Outage is the second outage of WhatsApp so why first outage is notable and second is not? Contributor008 (talk) 17:06, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Contributor008 Other than WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, the notability of 2021 outage was discussed at it's own AfD. – robertsky (talk) 02:28, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Outages happen all the time and are only notable if in the case of the 2021 Facebook outage, where that happened for a very long time across multiple services XxLuckyCxX (talk) 17:09, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * for a very long time 6-7 hours?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:11, 25 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete - Minute trivia in the overall story of the platform, never mind its lack of meaningful impact on the wider world. GenevieveDEon (talk) 18:24, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete a two hour outage is nothing serious. wp:ROUTINE; compare to the Rogers outage in Canada that left people without internet for 3 days and great parts of the country. Oaktree b (talk) 20:02, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly not notable per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTS, only lasted for about 2 hours. Facebook outage, as said above, was longer and affected multiple services. echidnaLives  -  talk  -  edits  22:15, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete outages happen regularly across all tech. Probably not even worth mentioning in the main WhatsApp article. Stephen 22:45, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete: Super minor, no major impact. CR-1-AB (talk) 00:24, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTNEWS applies. Ovinus (talk) 02:08, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. No clear appreciable impact. DarkSide830 (talk) 13:42, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Vida0007 (talk) 15:11, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Many of these outages are worth covering in Wikipedia, but probably just as a line or paragraph in a larger article. MarioGom (talk) 20:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, seems to be a minor event. Only claim that it's notable in the article is that it's the longest outage of WhatsApp ever, which while it does appear to be stated by one sources, is also evidently untrue given 2021 Facebook outage lasted more than twice as long.

 * Delete While it is well covered by news media, an outage is perfectly common. No need to create articles for every outage of major applications.  &maltese; SunDawn &maltese;     (contact)   04:21, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per WP:NOTNEWS. Feels like WP:SNOW here. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:48, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
