WP:NOT#NEWS "Wikipedia properly considers the long-term historical notability of persons and events, keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article ... in many cases this will mean not having a biography about someone who is not an encyclopedic subject, despite having made a brief appearance in the news. Timely news articles, however, are welcome on our sister project Wikinews." ( says the same: The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry.) I am indebted to
