Comment:  and #NEWS do not privide a blanket reason for deleting articles on events like this.  is clear that it is about having articles on people separate from articles on the event itself, so it could be used as a reason for renaming this article, but not deleting it. #NEWS says ''"topics in the news may also be encyclopedic subjects when the sources are substantial"''; the sources are obviously substantial here, including reports from http://torontosun.com/News/World/2008/02/17/4853620-sun.html Canada, http://www.timesnow.tv/NewsDtls.aspx?NewsID=5947 India, http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/foreign/display.var.2042908.0.Police_tip_disabled_man_out_of_wheelchair.php Scotland and http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=379241 Australia

Comment: per . No redirect or merge. There is no reason to rush to include this material now; if someone wants to add it a year or so after the incident, we will be able to assess its notability with a clearer perspective

Comment: A http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=%22brian+sterner%22&btnG=Search+News quick search indicates that this person and incident is massively notable.   only applies when there is a separate article on the 1 event and it doesn't seem that there is.  And, in any case, there seems to be more to say about this person, such as this http://www.tampabays10.com/news/local/article.aspx?storyid=74018 news item  .  The article has only just been created in the face of outrageous obstruction (the creator has now been banned for daring to talk back) and should be given time to be properly edited.  If appropriate, the article can be renamed and focussed around the incident rather than the person but his name seems to be the best search term for this currently

Comment: example of police brutality" is not enough of a notability assertion IMHO.  You may also want to read  and  for additional issues.  Also, I always clog these discussions with comments and need to stop

Comment: I think this does fall under , but the somewhat extensive coverage that this has gotten makes me a bit wishy-washy. I think it's a bit presumptuous to say that this guy will be forgotten next week, but it's probably a safe bet. If this article isn't deleted from this AfD, it should certainly be reexamined in a few months and if he has dropped off the radar as many people predict it should definitely be brought up for another AfD

Comment: Being thrown to the ground by the police does not make you |notable. Rodney King, with whom the author tries to draw a parallel, is notable for various reasons that the subject here is not, particularly the extensive ramifications of his case and the rioting that the acquitals induced
