 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. I found this article at Newsweek.  The sources in the article don't really excite me, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:05, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough sources are present, and the Newsweek source cited above indicates the issues this event addressed are a significant and growing phenomenon. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. The topic of this event is a discussion on censorship on the internet, and I think it would be quite ironic for the page to be deleted, especially with the arguments above. --Vami IV (talk) 05:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC) Deus Vult!

 * Keep. Has the nominatior heard about a little something called Template:Notability? KATMAKROFAN (talk) 03:08, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a storm in a bottle- the event is not notable because it has no lasting effect, nor in depth or lasting coverage. Policy specific to events says not notable enough for its own article. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:EVENT. Anybody have any sources at all that aren't either local or WP:RS fails? Because there are none at all in the article, and I'm not seeing any others. We have local sources (mostly published by the school) on one hand, and alt-right blogs that will cover anything "political correctness" related on the other. The latter are not typically reliable, but can occasionally be reliable for the opininos of the authors or for facts regarding subjects on which they have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This is not one of those. Sort of like how we should delete an article about a diversity conference that's only covered by primary sources, Daily Kos, Think Progress, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and random Tumblr blogs. Update: NRP's comment was hidden among delsorts, so I missed newsweek (and it didn't come up in the first several pages of ghits for me). That's the best I've seen by far, but its two paragraphs aren't enough to pass WP:EVENT. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 16:10, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per WP:GNG, especially in light of the Newsweek article another editor found. juju ( hajime!  &#124;  waza ) 08:54, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
