Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Gabriola Island crash
This has been covered in a myriad of reliable sources, including but not limited to ''Reuters'', ''Canadian Press'', ''Times Columnist'', ''The New York Times'', ''Yahoo News'', ''CBC News'', and ''Global News''. Such coverage fully establishes notability per the |notablility guideline, and as per  that notability '''is not temporary'''. Anyone arguing RECENTISM applies here, needs to remember that's not a policy any more than OLDISM... as the broad community has not decided that to be its consensus.  would be a more accurate thing to be pointing to, but even that guideline specifically notes that even while some events are only covered in short news cycles it {{tq|may be difficult or impossible to determine shortly after the event occurs, as editors |cannot know whether an event will receive further coverage or not. That an event occurred recently does not in itself make it non-notable}}. Therefore, what I said in my original comment about this AFD being premature still fully stands. Lastly, I would like to note that the sources used in this article are specifically quite different than  coverage. A few sources did report things before having full official confirmation, but that is to be expected with any news outlet today (and those unconfirmed facts are not in the article as of yet). &mdash
