Man Sentenced for Threatening Illinois Mosque

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

I'm a little on the fence about this one. This article seems to violate WP:ONEEVENT (and the article's title is terrible, but that's another story). Prod contested by article creator. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:35, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a general news headline that is not encylcopedic. (Unless the author means 'Man' as in 'Mankind'?).  Neither the event nor the man nor the mosque appear to be notable. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - blatant plagarism - the article is nothing but a cut-and-paste from the DOJ news release, with a few words cut-moved-and-pasted to make it read ever so slightly different. Not a speedyable copyvio - I think - given that the source is a government press release, but... - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 08:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * (also, fails WP:N and WP:NOTNEWS. - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 08:58, 1 December 2010 (UTC))


 * Strong Delete A clumsy word-by-word reworking of the DOJ article that functions as its source. Also: WP:ONEEVENT -- I mean, look at the article title. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  09:21, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:ONEEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS are so often misused and misinterpreted, but here is a crystal clear example of the type of article it seeks to prevent. One question though, is Central Illinois Mosque and Islamic Center notable enough for it's own article? (I honestly don't know.) If so, I think it should be created and a sentence or three on this incident should be included there. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  14:37, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. It seems improper to have an article about someone if we don't even have the chap's name in the title. ONEEVENT is relevant as well, I believe. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - No justification for an article on the person per WP:BLP1E, or for one on the event per WP:NOTNEWS. Really nothing here but a trivial news story of the day. Tarc (talk) 18:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete as blatant plagiarism and violation of WP:NOTNEWS. Jalapenos do exist (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete This is a flagrant transgressor of WP:NOTNEWS. It’s not even close. Greg L (talk) 22:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: appears to fail several parts of Notability (events), including WP:EFFECT and WP:GEOSCOPE, and already is failing WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE &mdash; Google News shows only one hit for "Ilya Sobolevskiy". --Closeapple (talk) 20:44, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
