Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kenyan invasion of Somalia (2011)
mdash;it seems to me that notnewspaper is notapplicable.  that guideline seems to discourage ''first-hand news reports on breaking stories,'' which this article does not contain.  notnewspaper refers us to  to gauge the notability of recent events.  that guideline tells us that ''As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and the development of stand-alone articles on significant current events.''  on the other hand, it's possible for reasonable editors to disagree here about whether the event is notable, but i don't think that it can be decided on the basis of guidelines alone.  also, wp:persistence, cited by nominator as reason for deletion, does say ''That an event occurred recently does not in itself make it non-notable.'' (i'm not cherry-picking excerpts here, since i'm assuming everyone's going to read the guideline).  the nominator's point about the word "invasion" is well-taken, though.  should the article survive the afd, i support moving it to Kenyan incursion into Somalia (2011), unless future events moot the point.&mdash
