 * Keep Sufficient sources to pass WP:GNG. My searches turned up stuff not on the page, such as ABC News, and, especially this    Washington Post article, "Why #BlackOutDay took over social media."E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:28, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Article cites coverage from Buzzfeed, ABC News, and the Daily Dot, which I would suggest meet the bar for significant coverage in WP:GNG, and it's probably a borderline case for WP:EVENTCRIT off the back of that coverage. I could be persuaded otherwise. As a minority-driven event it's probably worth affording it some leeway to counter systemic bias.  A  Train ''talk 16:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
