Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International reaction to the 2014 Crimean crisis
Well I forgot to mention that the abundance of sources for the reactions is a function of how the news media works, and is not a reflection of how #NEWS|Wikipedia sees things. Of course there is a whole category created for international reactions, and these all seem to be a feature of Wikis where editors are hungry to contribute by copying stuff off the internet and dumping it here. But, as #NEWS|Wikipedia is not the news says:Wikipedia is also not written in news style... While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. And plenty of |other stuff exists on WP. You start reading through those and I bet you won't last more than 10 minutes before dying or falling asleep out of boredom from routine repetition from the rhetorical condemnations and condolences. Why don't you try Wikisource or Wikiquote or even Wikinews? That's what #NEWS suggests we do:While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. Timely news subjects not suitable for Wikipedia may be suitable for our sister project Wikinews
