Associated Press false tweet

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Given that Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and the increasing frequency of such password-based breaches, I don't think this is notable enough to have an article. It would be appropriate at Wikinews, and should be mentioned at Associated Press. Superm401 - Talk 03:20, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete- I read in some article or other about this that there have been several hacks of newspaper social media accounts; I wonder if an omnibus article should be made for them. One way or another, though I don't think this event has enduring notability; no permanent dip in the stock market, no permanent effects of any kind, really. NOTNEWS summarizes it quite well; it's not at all evident that this is an event worthy of an article, so we should wait unless and until it is. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 03:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a big deal. Nothing along the lines of "‪Dewey Defeats Truman‬," for example. A good example of WP:Recentism. GeorgeLouis (talk) 03:53, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge. It is short enough that it could potentially be merged into Computer crime. Praemonitus (talk) 04:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Associated Press - That seems painfully obvious. :) · Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  04:12, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge -- I agree with Praemonitus -- merge it into Computer crime or a similar page. Do not delete the information and do not bury it in the Associated Press article. It is important, and deleting it would be a disservice to those who are studying or researching computer crime. 70.36.137.19 (talk) 05:11, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge WP:NOTNEWS and fails WP:NOTABILITY. The material could end up in Associated Press or some other article about hacked accounts.Crtew (talk) 09:12, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge - I wouldn't argue strongly with deletion but a merge seems like a good idea and has been well explained by those above. Whatever happens, I think this should probably be closed a bit early to avoid the obvious WP:NOTNEWS issues. Stalwart 111  11:45, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge per above, most likely into Associated Press. Ansh666 21:11, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Associated Press. I wish events like this one were rare enough to warrant their own articles.  Andrew327 16:58, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Stay separate warrants separate article - was well covered in the media and it did effect traders which therefore has nothing to do with the AP--68.231.15.56 (talk) 21:11, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * if you are one of the traders that got nailed you are not sure how this item is being downplayed here - my bet is that no editor whom has spoken so far is actually involved in stock trading and thus it is not within your personal interests area and therefore you are little concerned--68.231.15.56 (talk) 21:17, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Check WP:NOTNEWS, the second point. In a couple years (months, even), few around the world (stock traders affected by this incident making up a small percentage of the world) will remember this. Ansh666 19:24, 27 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Merge to AP and computer crime, (with the redirect to "computer crime"), although not necessarily all in each, and with no objection to later removal. I agree that this could be done before the nominal closure of the AfD.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 18:37, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to the main Associated Press article, or an article about hacking or related topics. Or delete. By itself this article is almost completely devoid of content. Breadblade (talk) 01:58, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
