Deletion of Lochtegate

Comment: Still thinking, but I do want to bring up that the notability guideline is clear that even if topics may be considered notable under relevant notability guidelines, that does not mean that a standalone page ''must'' be created as a matter of editorial judgment. Per : {{tq|When creating new content about a notable topic, editors should consider how best to help readers understand it. Sometimes, understanding is best achieved by presenting the material on a dedicated standalone page, but it is not required that we do so. There are other times when it is better to cover notable topics, that clearly should be included in Wikipedia, as part of a larger page about a broader topic, with more context.}} Also, per Yngvadottir, , , and  definitely factor in. We must be especially cautious of Wikipedia:Recentism|recentism bias. The controversy is still fresh in our minds, and so we might be giving more weight to it than it would really be worth five years down the road. How big is this in the context of Lochte as a whole

Comment: per . This is a news story about some people who went out and got drunk one night and went on to make a silly decision that blew up into an international incident. If it ever gets into history books we can have an article, but for the moment it is obviously news, not encyclopedic content. Special:Contributions/86.17.222.157|86.17.222.157

Comment: wikipedia is |not news, this is one news event but as it involves members of the us swim team it will of course receive a large amount of international coverage, a redirect/merge to Concerns and controversies at the 2016 Summer Olympics would be appropriate

Comment: without prejudice to merging (although  would have to be considered if merging into the suggested Concerns and controversies at the 2016 Summer Olympics). Significant international news coverage, so definitely notable

Comment: Merge is not appropriate as it discusses several subjects. Plenty of reliable sources and coverage for a lengthy period of time after the event satisfies  easily. Agree should be renamed, though, but this isn't the place to discuss that. If it's notable under some name, it's notable under any name. Names don't confer or deny notability
