Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Washington Redhawks
I'm in a similar mind to {{u|CorbieVreccan}}. After digging through  for event specific guidelines (which as a disclaimer I'm not at all familiar with and some of them I'm reading for the first time), the Redhawks would probably remain as a standalone article. Within the criteria, it doesn't have a lasting effect, nor does it fully satisfy  the widespread impact, but it was widely covered. The sources it already has satisfy  and  to my liking. It was largely brushed aside after being outed as false, but when it comes to sustained coverage of events, the wording of the guidelines seem to indicate that a lack of consistent coverage or a lasting effect does not disqualify the Redhawks from being suitably notable. "Although notability is not temporary, meaning that coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established, a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable." We're certainly in a grey area where it doesn't meet every guideline, but failure to meet every guideline isn't enough to say that it ought to be another section in an already bloated article as these guidelines are worded. Of course my entire argument stems on the fact that I consider it more an event, which doesn't quite hold it to the same standards of sustained coverage. If you don't think so, you'd probably rather merge it
