Vandana S

Not appropriate per WP:NOTNEWS. Ironholds (talk) 07:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: No real difference between this story and the Baby Jessica, Jessica McClure story, apart from geography. While Wikipedia is not a news service, there are instances when instantaneous international celebrity goes beyond WP:NOTNEWS, such as Baby Jessica and Elian Gonzalez. Just a spur for discussion. -- Oliver  Twisted  (Talk)  08:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but comparing this and Jessica McClure isn't really accurate. This one: a baby fell in a well. That one: a baby fell in a well, and the results included a film on the subject and a photograph of her being rescued winning the 1988 Pulitzer. Elian Gonzalez also raised various constitutional issues, something that, importantly, had ramifications beyond the incident itself. There is no indication this event will have any impact outside of the immediate situation (baby falls in, gets rescued); indeed, the press articles noted that this sort of thing is becoming relatively commonplace.

 * I'm not necessarily disputing your argument. I was just testing the waters regarding a story about the notability of a little girl in India being stuck in a well vs. a little girl in the US being stuck in a well. I'm not going to cast a vote on this one because it's hard to judge what is notable as news in a foreign country, without living there. Is there any way to invite any editors living in India to weigh in on this? -- Oliver Twisted  (Talk)  08:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
