Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reactions to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake
This is nothing more than a #DIR|directory of ''pro forma'' announcements of sympathy. As governments and NGOs frequently make such announcements they are of little encyclopedic value. These mainly get into news stories as a local angle and into Wikipedia probably for similar motivations but also in both cases due to a lack of high-quality information on the event, thus they fill a news vacuum in the initial hours. But they have very little value to an encyclopedia
