Harvard memes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This event appears to fail the notability criterion at WP:EVENT, particularly with respect to geographic coverage and persistence. VQuakr (talk) 07:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete The title is misleading: it doesn't describe memes, it's an article about a minor incident at Harvard where some prospective students had offers rescinded. This is not a major event with lasting historical significance or international coverage, hence failing WP:EVENT. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:12, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * There's international coverage; today I saw an article in the Jerusalem Post about it: link. I'm not sure what the title can be called, but I'm fine with any name Ethanbas (talk) 18:26, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That's still a long, long way from an event of "lasting historical significance". VQuakr (talk) 18:35, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Certainly not significant. Might be worth mentioning on the page for Gina Grant college admissions controversy or some other college admissions-related article.--MainlyTwelve (talk) 18:17, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable transient item from the news, no lasting significance in itself.  --Lockley (talk) 22:15, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
