Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 Richmond High School gang rape
as #NEWS. Send it to Wikinews and if anything notable emerges from this (a la Kitty Genovese), an article can be written then. By way of substantiating my position, and as a suggestion to the closer to at least consider the issue more generally, a quick note about the disagreement between the two camps: it seems to me this is a classic example of the systematic, US-slanted bias in en.wiki. This regional issue is trumpeted as Most Important Event Ever by (willing to bet almost exclusively) US editors watching US news caught up in classic intense-then-forgotten US media cycle. They are being sucked into the magnifying effect of the style of US news coverage (not to single out the US b/c other countries are just as bad, but I note that we don't get these kind of knee-jerk, NotNews-violating "articles" about big events in Bulgaria, which I would also vote to delete.) http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/gesellschaft/0,1518,656125,00.html This article from ''Der Spiegel'' provides something of the perspective we should maintain with respect to the events that get caught up in the news cycle
