Deletion of Tareq Salahi

Comment: both Tareq and Michaele into one event article, keeping the individual entries as redirects, ideally to sub-headers within the combined article. Because of  and the fact that the articles are nearly identical. The incident was definitely notable, so no reason for deleting altogether

Comment: He's only known for gatecrashing a dinner. All the press coverage of him as a polo player or vintner was either in passing or local (Washington Post), failing to show any real notability. |People known only for one event generally don't get articles written about them

Comment: into 2009 White House gatecrash incident. Salahi does not merit his own article (see ) but his name is now a plausible redirect and some of the information in this article could definitely be merged into the aforementioned article, especially considering the fact that it's a stub at the moment

Comment: Because the man has done some things to a certain level, including ''only'' running the winery, not owning it, does note make him notable prior to the alleged gate-crashing. Let's not forget that this, at present, is only an accusation. To me, the content meant to support his notability really has been stretched. Some of the sources in the article defy the concept of reliability: poptower.com, gossiprocks.com, askmissa.com, webofdeception.com? Eek. If this results in keep or merge for some reason, someone needs to consult

Comment: People are citing , but note that it says "The significance of an event or individual should be indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources." Thus far he's been the subject of non-stop media coverage for a week, and with ongoing investigations and a likely Congressional hearing, the coverage is likely to continue for weeks to come. Obviously, we can't predict the future, but we can afford to wait and see how the story unfolds before deciding whether to merge into the event page

Comment: The opinion of many in this deletion discussion is that Tareq Salahi is notable for only one event. As I said in my "keep" opinion above: "Tareq Salahi was notable before the White House event. As the owner of Oasis Winery, he has received a decent amount of coverage prior to November 2009. See ''http://books.google.com/books?id=WnV4Euir2jcC&pg=PA54&dq=%22Tareq+Salahi%22&ei=AXkQS6yzAoGQkATM4PycDA#v=onepage&q=%22Tareq%20Salahi%22&f=false Breaking Away to Virginia and Maryland Wineries'' (2002) and ''http://books.google.com/books?id=qDbcAuqSGQUC&pg=PA86&dq=%22Tareq+Salahi%22&ei=AXkQS6yzAoGQkATM4PycDA#v=onepage&q=%22Tareq%20Salahi%22&f=false The Middleburg Mystique: A Peek Inside the Gates of Middleburg, Virginia'' (2002). Both of these books provide significant coverage about Tareq Salahi and the work he has done as the owner of Oasis Winery." Those who rely on  to delete this article should have less weight accorded to their arguments. Likewise, those arguments that |believe that Tareq Salahi doesn't deserve to be notable should also be suitably weighed
