Deletion of Everybody Draw Mohammad Day

Comment: The amount of coverage this has already received in the quality press easily makes it notable.  It is inconceivable that in future this event will not now also be remembered and brought up every time the Danish cartoon is mentioned.  Arguments that this is  or  really will not wash.  If this were not a controversial current event and were, say, an event in 1900 and we could find this amount of coverage in quality newspapers there would be no question that it meets Wikipedia notability standards.  There is no grounds for treating this article any differently just because it is current

Comment: I can certainly see how  (''Wikipedia is not for things that you or your friends made up. If you have invented something novel in school, your garage, or the pub, but it has not yet become well known to the rest of the world, please do not write about it in Wikipedia. Write about it on your own website or blog instead.'') might have seemed applicable when the article was nominated, but it clearly doesn't apply in this case. The article clearly meets the . As for , that guideline is problematic for ''any'' current event, because it requires "coverage that persists over a period of time"; this article seems to meet most or all of the other elements of that guideline. Going on, that guideline says "The duration of coverage is a strong indicator of whether an event has passing or lasting significance...However, this may be difficult or impossible to determine shortly after the event occurs, as editors cannot know whether an event will receive further coverage or not. That an event occurred recently does not in itself make it non-notable." In this case, I think there's likely to be some persistance of coverage, due to the tie-in to what seems to be an ongoing clash between the Western value of free speech and the somewhat widespread desire of some Muslims to prohibit depictions of Muhammad. Although 201 (South Park) was the proximate inspiration for this, it's clearly also related to other instances of this conflict, such as the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Viewed in that light, as an episode in a much larger continuing dispute, I think this does have persistant notability

Comment: per . I am also concerned about the  implications. The cartoonist who jokingly suggested this idea has clearly backtracked and is alarmed about the publicity this story has gained - shouldn't we respect her wish that the episode be forgotten? Also, the article is not about an "Everybody Draw Muhammed Day" because no such day actually exists. It's about a brief controversy that arose concerning censorship on a TV program. There might be a case for an article on the broader controversy, but not I think for a standalone article on this particular aspect of it
