The result was   redirect to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign developments, 2007. If there is more content that needs to be merged that can be done from the history. I'll leave the redirects to the bots.  Sandstein  05:54, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Hillary Clinton presidential campaign office hostage crisis

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

More than four years on, I think it's clear that this was a passing news story with no lasting notability. The only reason we have an article on it (indeed, the only reason the news media covered it in the first place) was because it took place at an office of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. But there was no further political angle to the story, and the 'hostage crisis' ended peacefully after a few hours with no violence. The media briefly returned to the story a year later when the hostage-taker went to trial, and haven't covered it since. After considering the factors listed at Notability (events), I don't think this one meets our inclusion criteria. (It also contains a considerable amount of unnecessary personal detail about the perpetrator, which should probably be removed even if it is kept.) Robofish (talk) 20:38, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to Hillary_Clinton_presidential_campaign_developments,_2007 where there's an article on the topic which is already a third the size of this. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:12, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I already created one redirect into this one, so if it is merged, the closing admin must care to redirect all the old redirects. Bearian (talk) 16:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There's a bot that fixes double redirects, maybe several. See edits such as this. Is there a reason this wouldn't be fixed automagically ? Stuartyeates (talk) 20:02, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I've seen cases where, due to a bug, those bots don't work like magic. Bearian (talk) 22:24, 3 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete the article and merge only most pertinent info to Hillary_Clinton_presidential_campaign_developments,_2007. Per nom, far too much info on perp that isn't related to the incident reported in the article. DocTree (talk) 23:55, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
