Deletion of 2011 Manhattan terrorism plot

Comment: number of google news results is not a reliable metric for significant coverage, as it includes many sources that might be considered unreliable, and only indicates quantity, not quality of coverage. Plot Spoilers argument that this topic will continue to garner significant coverage is a bit of a  argument. As for accusations of , I have not expressed my opinion of the events in my nomination, so how does that apply? Quote from : "while some editors may dislike certain kinds of information, that alone isn't enough by itself for something to be deleted", I have never (to my memory) !voted on an AfD involving terrorism, I really don't see how that applies. The 2009 Bronx terrorism plot involves a plot in which the protagonists were convicted, this is only an alleged plot (it should actually be titled Alleged 2011 Manhattan terrorism plot), It only may have long term consequences if it turns out to be true, and the federal agencies decision not to prosecute indicates that it probably does not have national security implications

Comment: notable high profile criminal plot.  as per /CA.  2 people have been arrested and charged.  even if they are acquitted at a later point this would be a notable event documenting Islamophobia some allege is sweeping the USA

Comment: This alleged terrorism plot has at this point http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=f&pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22Ahmed+Ferhani%22+%22Mohamed+Mamdouh%22 over 500 instances of news coverage in many languages from countries all over the world.  is intended to avoid having encyclopedia articles about routine crimes, celebrity coverage, routine news announcement, and like things which are not of enduring importance. Terror plots from years past have in fact gained continuing coverage, and have been found to be encyclopedic, by surviving AFDs. Worried that this does not satisfy |GNG? Note the 500+ instances of "significant coverage in reliable and independent sources." GNG is easily satisfied by many news events of far less importance than alleged and prosecuted plots to commit mass murder for terrorist purposes. We added NOTNEWS to avoid Wikipedia being a mirror of every water-cooler story or routine crime story, which this is not. This case has already http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110513/NEWS/105130327 been noted as the first instance of trying alleged terrorists under a New York state law rather than a federal law

Comment: Moving on from from that particular point, I would like to address Wikireader41's claim that this article would be notable even if the protagonists are acquitted. He offers a rationale for this - that it would document islamophobia. Thus far, I have found no sources which raise this point about this plot. The authorities say that this is not a religiously motivated plot (according to the Wall Street Journal article). Saying that this will be covered in reliable sources as islamophobia is . It is my opinion that this article is in  of the protagonists being found guilty

Comment: Per /CA as a widely-reported criminal act. Though I do agree that "Alleged" would be a better title until the charges are confirmed. The word "plot" in that title is also problematic in that the men didn't seem to have any one specific plot or even set of plots, but were  buying ammunition to make future plots possible; perhaps that sounds overly pedantic, but I expected to read in this article that these men had some sort of plan, and that doesn't appear to be the case
