notability per GNG not established. The only reputable source Le Monde only covers it with a single article with almost no citable information. Ysangkok (talk) 21:52, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Some good argument made to keep, let's see some more input.

 * Keep  Delete Not quite enough sources to lend notability. Seems it was picked up by a few outlets for gag value. Thanks,L3X1 ◊distænt write◊  21:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC) Changed to keep. If others are fine iwht the amount of sources as liste dbelow, then i dont view my reasons as a particularily strong reason for deletion. Thanks,L3X1  ◊distænt write◊  14:58, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not sure why the nominator would say Le Monde is the only reliable source covering the subject. In addition to the coverage from Le Monde, my search reveals significant coverage from Al Jazeera, BBC, AFP and Quartz, to name a few. Al Jazeera, BBC, and AFP are generally reliable (see WP:NPPSG), same goes (to a lesser extent) for Quartz (see Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_301) --Dps04 (talk) 08:24, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: Looking over the links Dps04 presented, while the similarity of the language in the articles hovers around ONEEVENT territory, the coverage is solid enough to meet the GNG.  Just went trolling for sources myself, and I found four reliable news sources discussing this dated this year, so we can't say the coverage is ephemeral.

 * Keep Per Dps04. I've yet to see any actual argument made from the delete side apart from L3X1's concern about the lack of sourcing. But the BBC, Le Monde, Al Jazeera and AFP articles alone meet WP:GNG as Ravenswing stated. Wampagranule (talk) 19:33, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep the subject has received independent media coverage in RS. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 05:16, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
