Black Friday (1951)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails notability. This article is about an event that, while tragic, was local in nature and seems to have very little, if any, continuing coverage. It was prodded, however the prod tag was removed by an editor with the edit summary "looks notable to me after a brief Google search". My own brief Google search, done before I prodded the article, shows that essentially all of the Google hits for '"Black Friday" 1951' are mirrors or copies of this very article.

 * Delete - Even if the event passed the general notability guidelines it would be deleted per WP:EVENT, which requires an event to have a wide scope of impact, enduring public discussion, or be a catalyst or consequence of another notable event. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Rather than deletion, could I perhaps persuade editors to consider a merge to Brighton, Monroe County, New York as well as a Transwiki to RocWiki? Powers T 14:04, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look like it belongs anywhere in Brighton, Monroe County, New York. It is too local even within the county. This is an event that should be on newspapers, not on an encyclopedia. Lpvb (talk) 02:56, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
